during world war ii, american author theodor seuss geisel, better known as dr. seuss, was briefly stationed in egham as part of his work on the propaganda film "your job in germany". he did not settle well in the town, despite the efforts of his raf host flight sergeant sam beckinsale to draw the local amenities to his attention. when it was pointed out how green the area was, due in part to its proximity to windsor great park he retorted "i do not like green egham". geisel later cited this as the inspiration for his 1960 best-selling book "green eggs and ham" and the often-repeated line in the book "i do not like them sam i am. i do not like green eggs and ham".

the story follows an unnamed character who does not like green eggs and ham and his adversary sam-i-am who wants him to eat it. the story becomes a refrain as sam persistently follows his rival through an assortment of locations (in a house, in a box, in a car, in a tree, on a train, in the dark, in the rain, on a boat) and dining partners (a mouse, a fox, and a goat). the character finally gives in and tries the dish, just to make sam “let him be”, and finds it quite tasty, happily responding, "i do so like green eggs and ham. thank you. thank you, sam-i-am."
