Tim Burton is the creative genius behind Batman, Alice in Wonderland, Edward Scissorhands, and The Nightmare Before Christmas, among others.

He began his career at Disney, where his first project was a six-minute tribute to Vincent Price. His second film, the twenty-seven-minute Frankenweenie, was deemed unsuitable for children and never released in cinemas.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll) was born in 1832. He was an ordained Deacon and an Oxford don.

He was also a notable photographer, especially of children, with whom he had a remarkable rapport. It was for one child in particular, Alice Liddell, that the story of Alice was created.

Carroll published a sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, in 1871. He died in 1898.
