And Theodor Geisel wrote at least one book using the pseudonym of Rosetta Stone. The book was originally published in the 1975 under the pseudonym of Rosetta Stone, Because A Little Bug Went Ka-Choo! was relaunched (HarperCollins, 2001) with a stylish new cover design which reveals, for the first time, the true identity of the author - Dr. Seuss himself!

I always assumed that the pseudonym was a play on the prior name of his second wife Audrey Stone. Never verified that. Perhaps you know Lee.
