    When The Phantom Tollbooth was first released in 1961, it captured the hearts and minds of millions of children, instantly becoming a modern classic, and has since been embraced and treasured by new generations of readers. The 50th anniversary edition includes Jules Feiffer’s classic illustrations and features essays from acclaimed children’s writers including Philip Pullman, Suzanne Collins, Jeanne Birdsall, and Mo Willems. In addition to The Phantom Tollbooth, Norton Juster is the author of the acclaimed children's books The Dot and the Line, Caldecott Medal winner The Hello, Goodbye Window, and The Odious Ogre, which is also illustrated by Jules Feiffer.
