SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE ON ABEBOOKS. CLASSIC CHILDREN'S BOOK. Book is covered by a durable plastic, see through, dust jacket. FLYER OF SIGNING EVENT INCLUDED. STORY: A young boy named Milo who unexpectedly receives a magic tollbooth one afternoon and, having nothing better to do, drives through it in his toy car, transporting him to the Kingdom of Wisdom, once prosperous but now troubled. There, he acquires two faithful companions and goes on a quest to restore to the kingdom its exiled princesses named Rhyme and Reason from the Castle in the Air. In the process, he learns valuable lessons, finding a love of learning. The text is full of puns and wordplay, such as when Milo unintentionally jumps to Conclusions, an island in Wisdom, thus exploring the literal meanings of idioms. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2302
