On The Tollbooth

Michael Chabon writes about The Phantom Tollbooth in 'The Phantom Tollbooth' and the Wonder of Words at The New York Review of Books.

I read The Phantom Tollbooth with the Gauthier boys when they were in the early years of grade school. I find it interesting that I gave the book to their twelve-year-old cousin last year, as part of her 'Paperback Book of the Month Club' Christmas present, and she hasn't yet read it. The book doesn't call to her.
