Series: Iconic Directors

Dive into the whimsical, surreal and often macabre world of one of cinema's most unique visionaries. From his early days animating for Disney to earning cult-classic status, Tim Burton's trajectory in film is nothing short of extraordinary.

In this book, Olly Richards explores the director's peculiar yet brilliant filmography and pairs each of his best-known works with behind-the-scenes stories and stills. With a repertoire ranging from outright spooky (Sleepy Hollow) to wholesome (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory); from superhero movies (Batman) to likeable anti-heroes (Wednesday and Pee-Wee Herman), it is apparent that Tim Burton is not afraid to get weird and let his imagination fly.

Fall down the rabbit hole and celebrate one of history's most iconic directors.
