Norton Juster Biography

Norton Juster is one of the most influential, and beloved children’s books authors of our time. Perhaps best known for his children’s classic, "The Phantom Tollbooth," his writing has touched generations of young readers, sparking a love of literature in many of them. Norton has appeared at numerous schools, libraries, and conferences across the country, where he talks to students, educators, and parents about his life, his writing style, and much more. The year 2011 marked the 50th anniversary of The Phantom Tollbooth and the media included this amazing anniversary in much of their book coverage. The Phantom Tollbooth has currently sold close to four million copies since its publication almost 50 years ago.

In addition to "The Phantom Tollbooth," he has also penned a number of other highly acclaimed children’s books, including "The Dot and the Line," which was made into an Academy Award-winning animated film, and the recent "The Hello, Goodbye Window," illustrated by Chris Raschka, which was awarded a Caldecott Medal.

A father and a grandfather, Norton Juster resides in Amherst, MA with his wife.
