The Phantom Tollbooth is a like a book-length riddle. It's full of word play, puns, and brain teasers. At time, in "The Lands Beyond," things seem so logical that they become ridiculous. The Kings of Dictionopolis and Digitopolis have banished Rhyme and Reason and nothing seem to run smoothly any more. It's up to Milo, who has been mysterious transported to this world by "the phantom tollbooth," Tock the Watchdog and Humbug to rescue the two princesses from the Castle in the Air.
