Publisher Comments:

It has been fifty years — and millions of readers — since the world was first introduced to Milo and his adventures in the Lands Beyond with Tock, the Humbug, and the captive princesses Rhyme and Reason.

Now we have a remarkable 50th anniversary edition to honor this universally adored and deeply influential novel. This special edition includes:

• Gorgeous packaging that features the classic original art stamped and debossed on the case with a transparent acetate jacket.
• Brief essays from esteemed authors, educators, and artists, including Philip Pullman, Suzanne Collins, Jeanne Birdsall, Mo Willems, and several others.
• Photos of the author and illustrator at the time of writing and today on the two-color endpapers.
• The 35th anniversary essay by Maurice Sendak.
• The complete text of the book.

A perfect gift for longstanding fans and lucky new readers, the 50th anniversary edition of The Phantom Tollbooth is a book to cherish.

Review:

"The book is an absolute treasure to touch and to hold." The Atlantic

Review:

"The fifty-year birthday of a good children’s book marks a real passage, since it means that the book hasn’t been passed just from parent to child but from parent to child and on to child again. A book that has crossed that three-generation barrier has a good chance at permanence...[this is] an anniversary that matters." The New Yorker

Shakti, August 4, 2012 (view all comments by Shakti)
This is one of my favorite books from childhood. I also enjoy it as an adult, it is a fantastic trip into a world of crazy puns and fantastic characters. The more you know about mathematics and grammar the more you will enjoy the references in the book, but it is great fun even if you don't see all of the references (I know I probably missed lots of them). It is easy to read and understand and quick to get through. I highly recommend it for people of any age.
