The Phantom Tollbooth

The Phantom Tollbooth is based upon a children’s novel and a modern fairy tale full of wordplay and adventure. Written by Norton Juster, it tells the story of a bored young boy named Milo who drives through a magic tollbooth into the Kingdom of Wisdom, where he embarks on a noble quest and in the end learns a valuable lesson. The Phantom Tollbooth has been compared to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Journey to the West, and the works of Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein.
