The Man Behind The Tollbooth

This past Sunday I went to an event celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of my favorite books, The Phantom Tollbooth.  At the event Norton Juster, the author of the wonderful book, spoke to us about his life and his writing.
HE IS INCREDIBLE
HE IS LIKE SANTA CLAUS EXCEPT FROM OLD JEWISH BROOKLYN
Here is a picture of him (I didn't take it)

He was so jolly and hilarious and really clever.  He signed my book and it was AMAZING.  He was really clever, and told us all about how he started out as an architect (yes that is your fact for the day).  It was INCREDIBLE
I promise that the next post will be Halloween (or I will push that one back again).  Ok, well more later.
Let me know which authors you would like to meet! Also do you have any questions? Let me know
