Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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 will include:
* 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.
