When The Annotated
Phantom Tollbooth came out in 2011, I bought a copy, because I loved that
book so much as a child, and it’s beautiful, and I’m happy I have it, but I’m
glad I still have The Phantom Tollbooth
in cheap paperback—just the story, no annotation—because sometimes you just
need to be alone in Dictionopolis or Digitopolis, free from other opinions or
information, and someday maybe I’ll find the hardback copy from my childhood in
That House, and maybe I’ll keep it.
Sometimes you also have to jump to Conclusions. Another book I enjoyed introducing to the boys.
ReplyDeleteI loved that book too.
