The Annotated Phantom Tollbooth. by Juster, Norton; Illustrated by Jules Feiffer - 2011

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2011. First edition of the annotated edition of this classic work. Quarto, original illustrated boards, illustrated throughout. Boldly signed by Jules Feiffer on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Annotations by Leonard S. Marcus. This book has been described by Naomi Lewis as ‘the best original modern book in the Carroll line’" (Carpenter & Prichard, 409). Anyone with an appreciation for the language and irony of Alice in Wonderland will consider this witty adventure a classic. The novel begins with a miserably bored lad who exclaims that "there is nothing for me to do, nowhere I'd care to go, and hardly anything worth seeing." Suddenly a tollbooth appears in his room, and, having no other interests, the lad Milo drives through it and sets off in his toy car for a mythic journey.
