I made up a sequel to the story. In it, Rhyme and Reason have their own house where they live together. Milo comes to see them after lying to the two kings.

That sounds cool, but why would Milo have to lie to the two kings? Letters and numbers had made peace by the end of book one.

I'm not familiar with that book, but the princesses are pretty Unusual style of colouring, it makes the picture look soft and flowing :3

^///^ Thanks very much. "The Phantom Tollbooth" may not be very well known outside the US, I'm afraid, but it is still a beautiful story. The Kingdom of Wisdom has fallen into disrepair due to fighting between the ruler of letters and the ruler of numbers. One day in their wrath they banished the two princesses, and since then neither Rhyme nor Reason can be found anywhere in the land. The story is all about a kid named Milo who goes on a journey to bring Rhyme and Reason back to the world. Quite a lovely little book. : D

I never even heard of it, but your description made me curious I doubt that they'll have it in my library, but I'll keep my eyes open
Seems like it has a deeper meaning, since Rhyme and Reason are hard to find nowadays too in this weird world...

True that. -.- They have it the full text online if you would like to read it. oh yes, it is chock full of deeper meanings. It's a children's book (I was 9 or 10 when I first read it) but a lot of the lessons in it don't become apparent until one is an adult/older teen.
