Book 356: The Dot and the Line

The Dot and the Line, by Norton Juster, Chronicle Books 1963.


I loved this very nearly perfect book.  It was, of course, a story so it was about words and wordplay.  And it was about Art.  And it was most definitely about Mathematics, and perhaps as advertised about "lower Mathematics", but I would argue that Norton Juster elevated the Mathematics to a much higher level.
