Author Event at Brown Dog Books & Gifts

Award-winning author

Norton Juster

presents his newest book

The Odious Ogre

 A new picture book written by Norton Juster and illustrated by Jules Feiffer—to be the first collaboration from this legendary, award-winning team in 49 years, since the 1961 publication of the classic children’s novel The Phantom Tollbooth. Their new book, The Odious Ogre, will be published by Michael di Capua Books, an imprint of Scholastic.

 The Odious Ogre tells the story of a really rotten Ogre, who is extraordinarily large, exceedingly ugly, unusually angry, constantly hungry, and absolutely merciless. He terrorizes the entire countryside and all the surrounding towns, wreaking havoc, sowing confusion, and dining happily on the hapless citizens—until he takes a wrong turn and meets a kind and friendly girl who teaches him a lesson he is not likely to forget.

 The Phantom Tollboothwas published in 1961 and is recognized as a classic that continues to be treasured by children and adults throughout the world.

 “The Phantom Tollboothhas got to be one of the most beloved books of our time, and now its creators are at it again,” said Michael di Capua, Publisher of Michael di Capua Books. “It’s a joy and an honor to play a part in this extraordinary reunion!”
