A week before Tim Burton's version of Lewis Carroll's ever-magical Victorian adventure Alice in Wonderland opens in the UK, the British Library is hosting a rather special evening.
Hosted by Burton-ophile Mark Salisbury, the evening consists of a celebration of both the book and the forthcoming film, with conversation, film and readings from Christopher Lee, Matt Lucas and Michael Sheen.
Even good old Will Self will be on hand to use some long words. Awesome!
