Curious Wonder and Deep Wisdom

5 stars

The Phantom Tollbooth is a fable in every chapter, clever wit in every paragraph, and careful thought in every sentence. It is both a treatise on critical thinking and a tender story of a young boy’s adventure. It is just as much an epic struggle between Wisdom and Ignorance as it is a playful comedy. Its excellence is a testament to the fruits of curious wonder and deep wisdom.
