FIRST editions of classic children's novels, including Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter, are going on sale.

The books will be at the UK's largest children's and illustrated book fair at Harrogate's Crown Hotel, North Yorkshire, which will raise funds for children's cancer charity Candlelighters, based at St James' Hospital, Leeds.

The fair takes place on October 16 and will be open from 10.30am to 4.30am. Admission is £2, but the Candlelighters stand can be visited for free.
