This week has started off proving to be quite the book-adaptation-fest.

For starters, there’s been several gorgeously lavish pics released, revealing Tim Burton’s typically bizarre interpretation of Alice in Wonderland, or should I say, “Lewis Carroll’s, Tim Burton’s, Alice in Wonderland”?

And then secondly, it’s been announced that the BBC is making a small-screen version of The Gruffalo, in time for Christmas. Both of the aforementioned productions, coincidentally, feature Helena Bonham Carter.
