Jack Skellington is the most important figure in Halloweenland and for years he has delighted in organising macabre tricks and frights for Halloween. But this year he doesn't feel right - there must be more to life than scaring people? Then Jack stumbles upon a cheerful, colourful place called Christmas Town and he knows what he must do - he will bring Christmas to Halloween!

This beautifully designed commemorative edition celebrates the twentieth anniversary of this classic book, written and illustrated by the incomparable visionary Tim Burton.

It goes without saying that if you love the movie you MUST read the original poem that Tim Burton wrote. It doesn't go into detail about everything little thing, but it's so charming and the illustrations are gorgeous (in a Tim Burton way). You'll even get to see how everything matches up.
