 A very English spirit:
 
 Miniature paper theatre, or toy theatre, is a popular art form dating back to the 18th century and reaching its peak during Victorian London. These small theatres were often handmade from cut and folded paper, creating elaborate miniature scenes with detailed characters, scenery, and props. The tradition of paper theatre in London flourished thanks to artists such as Benjamin Pollock.
 
 
 It is this English tradition that Helen Bourch perpetuates by tackling Lewis Carroll 's famous novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass".
