Description
|
|
|
|
It has been 50 years since the world was introduced to Milo and his adventures in the Lands Beyond with Tock the watchdog, the Humbug, and the captive princesses Rhyme and Reason. Penned by Norton Juster, who also gave us The Dot and the Line, and illustrated by Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist Jules Feiffer, this hilarious, pun-filled, widely loved classic for readers 8 to 12 (and kids-at-heart of all ages) is presented here in a beautifully produced anniversary edition. The original cover art is reproduced on a transparent acetate dust jacket, and the book is accompanied by essays from such authors, educators, and artists as Maurice Sendak, Philip Pullman, Suzanne Collins, Jeanne Birdsall, and Mo Willems. "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
