Hailed as “a classic… humorous, full of warmth and real invention” (The New Yorker), this beloved story—first published more than fifty ago—introduces readers to Milo and his adventures in the Lands Beyond.
Features an appreciation by Maurice Sendak, award-winning author ofWhere the Wild Things Are!
Review:
“I read [The Phantom Tollbooth] first when I was ten. I still have the book report I wrote, which began ‘This is the best book ever.’” — The New York Times
“The Phantom Tollbooth is the closest thing we have to a modern Alice in Wonderland.” — The Guardian
“The book lingers long after turning the final page… A classic indeed.” — Los Angeles Review of Books
“You loved the humor and adventure… and [now] you’ll marvel at [the book’s] wit, complexity, and its understanding of how children perceive the passage of time.” — Entertainment Weekly
一个乏味至极的下午，觉得一切都了无生趣的男孩米洛，在自己的房间发现一个神奇的收费亭。他开着电动玩具车，驶过收费亭，踏上一趟不可思议的奇妙旅程……一路上，米洛曾身陷懒散国、误入结论岛，还在词语国锒铛入狱。但他在伙伴闹钟狗和骗人虫的帮助下，一次次转危为安，还邂逅了“哪个”婆婆、色彩大师、向下长的男孩、十二面体人、噪音医生等有趣的朋友。后来，米洛勇敢地前往无知山，去帮助词语国和数字国营救韵律公主和真理公主，但是每前进一步都有恶魔相阻。米洛从朋友们身上学到的东西能帮他战胜这些恶魔吗？
For Milo, everything’s a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he’s got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason! Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it’s exciting beyond his wildest dreams…

There was once a boy named Milo who didn’t know what to do with himself — not just sometimes, but always.
When he was in school he longed to be out, and when he was out he longed to be in. On the way he thought about coming home, and coming home he thought about going. Wherever he was he wished he were somewhere else, and when he got there he wondered why he’d bothered. Nothing really interested him — least of all the things that should have.
“It seems to me that almost everything is a waste of time,” he remarked one day as he walked dejectedly home from school. “I can’t see the point in learning to solve useless problems, or subtracting turnips from turnips, or knowing where Ethiopia is or how to spell February.” And, since no one bothered to explain otherwise, he regarded the process of seeking knowledge as the greatest waste of time of all.
As he and his unhappy thoughts hurried along (for while he was never anxious to be where he was going, he liked to get there as quickly as possible) it seemed a great wonder that the world, which was so large, could sometimes feel so small and empty.
“And worst of all,” he continued sadly, “there’s nothing for me to do, nowhere I’d care to go, and hardly anything worth seeing,” He punctuated this last thought with such a deep sigh that a house sparrow singing nearby stopped and rushed home to be with his family.
Without stopping or looking up, Milo dashed past the buildings and busy shops that lined the street and in a few minutes reached home — dashed through the lobby — hopped onto the elevator — two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and off again — opened the apartment door — rushed into his room — flopped dejectedly into a chair, and grumbled softly, “Another long afternoon.”
