Illustrated Quote: The Phantom Tollbooth

The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster, was one of my very favorite books as a child. I remember reading it over and over throughout the years, and with each new age, each new reading, new parts stuck out. I may even have to pick it up again now... 

I love its sense of play, of nonsense, of adventure and fantasy. It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. Parallel world or time travel stories are still some of my very favorites. The short story I just read yesterday, Ray Bradbury's The Night Meeting, fits into that category well...but more on that later. 

If you never read it in school, or haven't reread it in a while, I highly recommend taking a journey into its wonderful, bendy world.
