Tim Burton's classic Halloween tale.

Twenty-three illustrated gothic tales from the dark corridors of the imagination of the creative genius behind Batman, Edward Scissorhands and Big Fish. Burton's lovingly lurid illustrations evoke both the sweetness and tragedy of a cast of gruesomely sympathetic children - hopeful, yet hapless beings.

This updated and fully illustrated new edition of the definitive Burton interview book casts light on Burton's Burband childhood, his early work at Disney, the recurrent themes and stunning designs of his movies, and the creative obsessions that fuel them.

Produced in close co-operation with Tim Burton and the production team, this is a full colour hardcover official companion volume to the film Sweeney Todd . It also includes a foreword by Tim Burton, over 200 photos, concept drawings and production designs, extracts from the screenplay and interviews with the cast and crew.

A Child's Garden of Nightmares charts the filmmakers path from malcontent animator at Walt Disney Productions to directing feature films with a fantasy aesthetic and a natural sympathy for the alienated outsider.

Presented in a board book format, this Christmas classic is suitable for young children.
