As I walked through London's Leicester Square this morning, I was amazed that hundreds of fans had already started to arrive for the worldwide premiere of the 3D blockbuster Alice in Wonderland. Tonight the red carpet will see a host of stars, including Johnny Depp and Anne Hathaway,parade before the cameras.

But it may well be that tonights showing at the Odeon Leicester Square is the sole occasion on which the multi-million pound film will be seen at any of the 834 screens operated by Britain's largest cinema chain. Apparently there is a dispute about the time between theatrical showing in cinemas and the release of the movie on DVD.

If you do manage to see the movie, watch out for Silksoundbooks audio book stars Tim Pigott-Smith , Lindsay Duncan and Geraldine James in the all-star cast.

And if you don't get to see it, I can thoroughly recommend the two Alice audio books - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the follow up Through The Looking Glass and What Alice Found There - both read by the wonderful British actress Julia McKenzie .

And both available right now from Silksoundbooks!!
