The second audio collection in the Doctor Who: Puffin Classics series featuring four adventures. 
 
Alien pirates, and sea-faring friends abound in this incredible Treasure Island and Doctor Who crossover. 
 
'Who was that?' asked Clara. 'And what are pieces of eight?' 
 
The Doctor smiled. 'Robert Louis Stevenson. I did tell you.' 
 
Summoned to 1700s Plymouth, the Doctor and Clara must investigate a mysterious thievery from the Crown of King George. 
 
Their travels take them to a remote island - but as the secrets of the theft are unearthed, the Doctor discovers something far more sinister. The spectre of a terrible intellect is afoot. 
 
Thankfully, the Doctor and Clara won't be alone. A pirate called Long John Silver, a runaway called Janey Hawkins, and professor called River Song, are all along for the ride. 
 
Embark on a strange and enchanting adventure with old friends and familiar foes in this glorious crossover of Doctor Who and Alice in Wonderland. 
 
The Doctor and his companions visit the dreaming spires of peaceful Oxford, hoping for a brief respite from their travels. 
 
But when Lewis Carroll appears at a garden party and their fellow guests transform into animals, they realise that everything is not as it seems . . . 
 
An unknown cosmic foe has trapped them in a twisted version of Alice’s Wonderland. Separated from the Tardis and from each other, their only hope of escape lies in cryptic clues teased by fan-favourite characters from Carroll’s classic tale. 
 
He tidied his hair, smoothed down his vest, and extended a hand. ‘Perhaps we can begin anew,’ he said. ‘Dr V. Frankenstein, at your service.’ 
 
When an unsettling folk tale leads the Ninth Doctor and Rose to a remote village in Wales, they get more than they bargained for. 
 
A scientist has taken it upon himself to create new life – imitating Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, a book that has sent shock waves around the country. 
 
But, much like his fictional counterpart, this doctor is playing god, and with forces beyond his understanding. As the Doctor and Rose attempt to put the brakes on the experiment before it gets out of control, a sinister supernatural presence reveals itself . . . 
 
A vampire is on the loose! 
 
On what they hope is going to be a holiday, the Doctor and his companions arrive in a quiet, unassuming seaside town called Whitby. 
 
The terrible significance of the place evades them, until they happen upon a theatre production that captivates their attention . . . 
 
Dracula! 
 
Suddenly, murders are occurring left, right and centre, each victim with trademark puncture wounds on their neck. Ian is soon missing, and a town shrouded in myth and legend is beginning to live up to its name. 
 
Clearly there is a Dracula at large. But the TARDIS team quickly realise: you can never trust a vampire . . .
