The Guardian has a promotion video trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland movie, coming out in 2010. Last week, on my holiday, we bought Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and began reading the book with my young daughter. Like so many books I read to her before bedtime, I hadn’t read Alice for 30+ years. Burton’s trailer puts a scary spin in Alice’s journey but, re-reading the book in 2009, the story is simply crazy. I just keep glancing at my daughter and saying “All these people are bonkers” and she smiles back and says “Yes, Daddy.”
