This story, full of incredible adventures and mischievous word games, is about an amazing journey to magical lands, where letters grow in vegetable gardens, and numbers are mined in underground mines, where all sounds are collected in a vault , and you can conduct the dawn. More than one generation of Americans has grown up with this fascinating and funny book. It is still used in theatrical and radio plays, and in 1970, the legendary Chuck Jones, the “father” of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and other superheroes, made a full-length animated film based on it. The book was illustrated by the writer’s friend, the famous cartoonist and animator Jules Phifer.
