It seems there's no end to movie adaptations of kids books at the moment. Next up is Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, which is by no means a faithful adaptation of Lewis Carroll's text. Burton uses Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass as a springboard for his own fantastical creation, which sees a 19-year-old Alice (below) reuniting with familiar friends from her earlier, and largely-forgotten, childhood adventures.

There have been countless movie versions of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, my favourite being the excellently creepy Alice by Czech filmmaker Jan Svankmajer, which uses a combination of live action and stop-motion animation.

Thankfully there are an equally vast range of print editions of this classic, some with Tenniel's original illustrations, and others featuring some of the world's best illustrators: Robert Ingpen, Helen Oxenbury and Michael Foreman.

I must admit to squealing in delight when I saw Camille Rose Garcia's brand-new version of Alice arrive in store. This edition will have traditionalists tut-tutting and shaking their heads, but I love it.

Camille Rose Garcia works in a style of contemporary American art (although I'm sure the artists would hate to be categorised or pigeonholed) commonly referred to as 'lowbrow' or 'pop surrealism'. This style has strong links with underground comic, punk, tattoo and hot-rod subcultures. I think Garcia's psychedelic work that manages to be both beautiful and grotesque is the perfect match for Alice.

By far my favourite illustrated edition is that by Bulgarian artist Iassen Ghiuselev (above), which is unfortunately now out of print. I am such a fan of Ghiuselev's surly, Eastern European take on Alice that I had one of his illustrations tattoed on my left arm.When I emailed Ghiuselev to tell him I had permanently etched one of his drawings on my skin, he wrote back to say that it was 'really a curious thing' that I had done. I don't think Alice could have said it better herself!
