	Norton Juster
		Juster said he never had "a chunk of money that wasn't spoken for" until he sold the film rights to "The Phantom Tollbooth" in 1968.
		Twenty years ago, Juster and his family left the hills in favor of town life when his young daughter longed for easier access to activities and friends.
		Juster prefers white walls because, he said, a house should be "a background to the rest of your life."

	Gazette \| Alumni: Profiles (Jan \| Feb 04)
		Juster’s whole career can be seen as a series of inspired tangents, befitting a man who cites the Marx Brothers as a formative influence.
		It is, in a sense, what Juster calls “the classic conflict we have between the humanities and the sciences” —which, as an architect, he embodies.
		His daughter now has a daughter of her own, who is the inspiration for Juster’s other project, a series of picture books about a little girl who sees and imagines whole worlds through a window at her grandparents’ house.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Norton Juster - The Phantom Tollbooth at Epinions.com
		Juster is a master at description, deftly sketching scenes and characters in the space of a few lines.
		Juster's prose abounds with puns and figures of speech; even the most tired cliches get a fresh spin, thanks to the tendencies of most characters to take Milo's words literally.
		Though some of Juster's criticisms are blunt (mostly where the demons of Ignorance are concerned), the book overall maintains a droll, light-hearted tone.

	Powells.com Interviews - Norton Juster
		Despite decades running his own architectural practice, Norton Juster somehow managed to publish another classic, as well, The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics, later produced as an animated short by legendary cartoonist Chuck Jones.
		Juster: I finished one, which is at the publisher, and it should be out at the end of the year.
		Juster: More than for a while, certainly, because when the architectural practice got really busy, there I was with three partners, and you don't walk away.

		As a child I thought the book was a wonderfully bizarre experience, a stunning trip through Juster's over-active imagination, and an experience that I was sorry to see finish.
		Juster is endlessly inventive, but the plot is nothing more than a tour that Milo takes across the kingdom.
		And by the nature of the characters' functions, they also serve as little more than embodiments of puns (with the notable exception of Tock, who is great).

		Dictionopolis is inhabited by strange fellows such as these and the unforgettable Kakofonous A. Dischord (Doctor of Dissonance), as well as a strange places such as the “Island of Conclusions” (which you get to, of course, by jumping).
		Juster’s word play is so skilful and delightful, that at first you suspect that this wordy excellence will be impossible to match when Milo visits Digitopolis, the city of numbers.
		Juster demonstrates a superb ability to make the abstract concrete, and to produce an unending stream of puns and plays on words and concepts.

		There he meets all sort of curious creatures, from a giant watchdog (literally, a dog whose body is a watch) and a humbug the size of a person.
		Juster plays with words as if they were tangible objects to juggle, and continually surprises the reader by turning ordinary events into magical occurrences.
		It is a wonderful book to read to a child, and the simple fl and white drawings scattered throughout the text belie the vivid pictures that Juster paints with his words.

		The story then becomes a quest story (like Dracula or Lord of the Rings) where Milo recruits companions and they travel through the strange lands (my particular favourite was the Mountains of Ignorance for the sinister crow and the faceless man) and it's also a sort of modern day Alice in Wonderland.
		The pictures that accompany it (by Jules Feiffer, Juster's flatmate in New York who drew as Juster wrote) are perfect in the way that John Tenniel's complemented Carroll's, while the prose is very readable and perfect for young children to read.
		Bottom line, this is a great book for everyone; for kids, an imaginative story and hopefully an inspiring one; for grown ups, a story that reminds you of the lessons learnt in your youth but also reinvigorates you to continue learning and reading.

	The Phantom Tollbooth Study Guide by Norton Juster: Literary Qualities
		The Phantom Tollbooth is written in a warm and conversational style, and Juster often steps out from behind the scene to directly address the reader.
		When Milo drives through the tollbooth and into the lands beyond, for example, he thinks, "What a strange thing to have happen," and the author adds "(Just as you must be thinking right now)." This style is one of the great strengths of the book.
		Juster includes a number of puns and plays on words in his names and places, and these puns will sometimes only be funny to readers with a large vocabulary.....

		Originally published in 1963, and back just in time for Valentine's Day, The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics by Norton Juster (The Phantom Tollbooth) once again bursts on the scene.
		Using only fl and red, Juster tells the poignant yet humorous tale of a straight line in love with a red dot, and the line's attempts to woo her away from a slothful squiggle.
		Juster did a great job on this book.

		This wonderfully clever fantasy, illustrated by Jules Feiffer, was written in 1961 and I believe it's never been out of print.
		They are deceptively simply, and yet they capture the humor, spirit, and mood of Juster's text quite wonderfully.
