From the publisher: "It has been fifty years-and millions of readers-since the world was first introduced to Milo and his adventures in the Lands Beyond with Tock, the Humbug, and the captive princesses Rhyme and Reason. Now we have a remarkable 50th anniversary edition to honor this universally adored and deeply influential novel. This special edition [includes] brief essays from esteemed authors, educators, and artists, including Philip Pullman, Suzanne Collins, Jeanne Birdsall, Mo Willems, and several others; photos of the author and illustrator at the time of writing and today on the two-color endpapers; [and] the 35th anniversary essay by Maurice Sendak." That's what the publisher has to say. Here's what I have to say: If you or your child haven't yet read this book, please please please do yourself a favor and do so right away! It's the kind of book that will stick with you for a lifetime. I read it [mumble mumble] years ago and it is still one of my all time favorites. -Randy
