SOMETIMES WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH OURSELVES
Since it's original publication in 1961, The Phantom Tollbooth has grown into a classic of children's literary fantasy. The Phantom Tollbooth defies logic and ignites the imagination to awaken the "lazy mind" (Sendak, An Appreciation). It has drawn comparisons with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and even Pilgrim's Progress. For over fifty years, children have been inspired by the whimsical adventures of Milo and one can only hope that continues for another fifty.
Presented here is a scarce signed copy, signed by Juster on publisher's tipped in page (though tipped in upside down).
