The Phantom Tollbooth turns 50

Watch the video on Kickstarter

One of my favorite books of all times, The Phantom Tollbooth, is turning 50 and filmmaker Hannah Jayanti is working on creating a documentary about author Norton Juster and illustrator Jules Feiffer. While they've already reached their $16,000 goal, I'm happy to support the project. 

Jayanti writes "we follow Norton and Jules as they return to the house in Brooklyn Heights where Norton began writing a little story "to get his mind off of what he had to do." Working as an architect, Norton was awarded a grant for a book onUrban Perception, which he promptly didn't write. Instead, he created Milo. When he showed his notes to his neighbor, a young political cartoonist bent on overthrowing the government, Jules began sketching – and The Phantom Tollbooth was born."
