To cut a long story short, we were enthralled by the creative cast of characters that leapt off the page in their fiction-inspired finery.
Whether your crafty kids were planning their costumes for months in advance or you were one of the harried parents hastily throwing together outfits at the last minute, we’ve compiled a gallery of some of the cutest and most imaginative dress-ups.
