Doctor Who

It is London, 1978, and tensions are high. Seema and her family are struggling, but she has learnt to keep her head down, not create trouble. 
 
That is until she and her two friends, Terrence and Inderjit, decide to join an anti-National Front protest in the East End. 
 
And when trouble does inevitably find them, the friends are saved by the appearance of a mysterious, seemingly broken-down bus. 
 
But inside this bus it is like nothing any of them have ever seen. It is a journey through the most wonderful landscapes, where visions of hopes and dreams envelop the lost group. 
 
Who - or what - is this strange place? The tall, grumpy man with white hair might know the answers, but then he also seems just as scared as they are . . .

Jacqueline Rayner

It's Christmas, 1963, when nine-year-old Gerald starts dreaming of strange worlds and monsters

Doctor Who: Imaginary Friends

a 1960s story

While investigating a strange energy in Carbury, the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble are pulled into a different dimension, smashing a giant hole into another world in the process. 
 
As the magic of the hidden dimension slowly seeps out, the Doctor and Donna find themselves in Camelot, where a young squire, Arthur, comes to their aid, and when the Doctor is mistaken for Merlin, they are swept up in the glamorous and daring legends of the Knights of the Round Table. 
 
But something far more menacing has been awakened. Caught in an ancient battle for power, Donna and the Doctor are sucked into a dangerous game. As each move is made and time spins faster, the Doctor must find a way to seal the rift before an unimaginable power is unleashed and the universe is laid to waste.

The first collection in the Doctor Who: Icons series. 
 
The Thirteenth Doctor meets the illustrious artist Frida Kahlo in the first of three brand-new novellas starring inspiring characters from history. 
 
Some art can be deadly . . . 
 
Young Frida Kahlo is angry. Injured in a terrible accident, she lives with constant pain and worries that her dreams are unreachable. 
 
But when the TARDIS lands in Mexico City – drawn by a strange disturbance in its energy fields – Frida’s life is turned upside down. Aliens have arrived, taking over the bodies of children and killing anyone who gets in their way. 
 
With the fate of the Earth at stake, the Doctor and Frida must find a way to understand their alien invaders, and each other. 
 
The Tenth Doctor meets the constantly curious Charles Darwin in the second of three brand-new novellas starring inspiring characters from history. 
 
Some discoveries should never be made… 
 
When Charles Darwin takes a break from a long sea voyage to look for shells on the Galapagos Islands, he finds two things that really shouldn’t be there. The first is a sunbathing Doctor. The second is a fresh Silurian skull . . . 
 
When more Silurians are discovered by Darwin’s crew – alive, this time – there is pandemonium. And when the island’s volcano starts erupting, years ahead of schedule, it looks like all-out war. 
 
The Doctor has his hands full. Can he keep Charles – and his evolutionary theory – alive? 
 
The history of science is at stake. 
 
The Fifteenth Doctor meets a literary legend in the third of three brand-new novellas starring inspiring characters from history. 
 
The best stories should never be unwritten… 
 
When a strange signal echoes through time to the heart of the TARDIS, the Doctor follows it to the home of Shirley Jackson. 
 
But the strangeness deepens when they find a sinister figure sowing chaos and discord with the use of a glowing box – encouraging a crowd to murderous deeds. 
 
Catapulted back to Shirley Jackson’s own era by the TARDIS, the Doctor (with the help of the time-struck author) must discover the origins of the box, and the terrible power that it wields . . .

Doctor Who: Icons 1

Paul Magrs

Gold had come to the greenwood . . . 
 
 Robin Hood is disenchanted. Maid Marion has disappeared, and the legend of the Doctor has retreated into the shadows of Sherwood Forest. 
 
 But the Doctor is back! (Although this is his first visit - time travel does strange things to a story.) 
 
And the timing couldn't be better. A new Sheriff of Nottingham is in town, out to get the Outlaws, and behind the scenes, the mythical Mother Maudlin has designs on the realm that are not of this earth . . . 
 
 With the Kingdom in peril, it's time for the return of the Lionheart.
