The short life of A.J.A. Symons (1900-41) was described by his biographer as an intricate and largely harmless confidence trick. His many interests included the collection of musical boxes and rare books as well as the study and practice of forgery; they left him time to edit an anthology of Edwardian verse and compose studies of H.M. Stanley and other notable figures. He is remembered for The Quest for Corvo, one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, and for co-founding the Wine and Food Society.

A remarkable collection of new Doctor Who short stories that give a glimpse into the moments just after the Doctor saves the world, and the credits roll. 
 
The Doctor has had many adventures, visited many planets and made a whole host of friends (and some enemies). 
 
But if you thought it was all over after the TARDIS doors closed, and the time ship dematerialised, onto the next adventure, you’d be very much mistaken. 
 
From Earth’s past, present and future, to the furthest reaches of the universe, here are eight tales that give us a glimpse into the worlds the Doctor left behind. Sometimes triumph, sometimes tragedy (and always chaos) these are stories you’ll never forget.

When one day, the Twits go too far, two BRAVE children and a family of marvellous creatures decide to stand up to them. 
 
But they will need to become as tricky as the Twits themselves to get justice...

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 . . .

She's applied for a job as a secretary at a run-of-the-mill office, with just one other co-worker. 
 
He’s nice enough. A little strange, a little charming, clearly an innovator. For a snappy dresser, though (Sarah loves the scarf) he’s strangely quiet. 
 
That’s because, of course, he’s the Doctor. Working with UNIT to try to restore Sarah’s memories, he’s found himself battling an alien group harvesting the minds of unsuspecting victims. 
 
But he’s already on the back foot, and as the alien hive mind draws in its followers, he’s very much in need of a friend. 
 
Enter legendary musician Fela Kuti. Another innovator – just as challenging, and just as charming. He might just be the one the save the human race.

Journey into a lawless land and take its toughest trials in this official Minecraft novel! 
 
All of Cecelia Alao's friends call her Cece. All one of them. But she and Therese are so close that one friend is all Cece needs. Both at school and in their shared Minecraft world, Cece and Therese are inseparable. Until the night before the first day of school, when Therese sends Cece a message, three words that change everything: 
 
We are moving. 
 
Therese's new home in the USA is 7,000 miles away from Lagos, where the two best friends grew up. Not only is Cece facing secondary school without her best friend, but she's losing the world she built with Therese. But Cece still has hope. Maybe she can't cross the world to get to her friend, but in Minecraft she won't need to. Therese has invited her to a new server-with new friends from her new home-a place called Haven. All Cece has to do is join and they'll be reunited. It's that easy, right? 
 
When she follows the invite, she realizes just how wrong she was. Lost in a chaotic world named Anarchia, Cece learns that the server's owner, a shadowy figure called the Ocury, has sealed off the peaceful land of Haven behind a twisted initiation ceremony called the Haven Trials. 
 
Three titanic tasks. Five lives to complete them. A host of dangerous mobs and griefing players. If Cece fails, she'll be banned from the server forever. There's no way she can do this alone. If she wants to play with Therese again, she's going to have to find new people she can rely on-both in-game and IRL. 
 
No time to lose. . . . The trials await!

Ladybird Christmas Carol Treasury

Tracey Baptiste

*** The second official Minecraft tie-in novel, following the Sunday Times bestseller The Island *** 
 
This official Minecraft novel is an action-packed thriller! When a new virtual-reality version of the game brings her desires&mdash;and doubts&mdash;to life, one player must face her fears. 
 
Bianca has never been good at following the plan. She's more of an act-now, deal-with-the-consequences-later kind of person. But consequences can&rsquo;t be put off forever, as Bianca learns when she and her best friend, Lonnie, are in a terrible car crash. 
 
Waking up in the hospital, almost paralyzed by her injuries, Bianca is faced with questions she&rsquo;s not equipped to answer. She chooses instead to try a new virtual-reality version of Minecraft that responds to her every wish, giving her control over a world at the very moment she thought she&rsquo;d lost it. As she explores this new realm, she encounters Esme and Anton, two kids who are also playing on the hospital server. The trio teams up to play through to the End, and hopefully to find Lonnie along the way. 
 
But the road to recovery isn&rsquo;t without its own dangers. The kids are swarmed by mobs seemingly generated by their fears and insecurities, and now Bianca must deal with the uncertainties that have been plaguing her: Is Lonnie really in the game? And can Bianca help him to return to reality with her? 
 
From bestselling author Max Brooks also comes the long-awaited epic conclusion to the Minecraft trilogy, Minecraft: The Village, coming out in October 2023.

An Official Minecraft Novel

Sarah J Maas

The highly anticipated coming-of-age story of kick-ass super hero: CATWOMAN by international bestselling author Sarah J. Maas. 
 
When the Bat's away, the Cat will play. It's time to see how many lives this cat really has. . . . 
 
Two years after escaping Gotham City's slums, Selina Kyle returns as the mysterious and wealthy Holly Vanderhees. She quickly discovers that with Batman off on a vital mission, Batwing is left to hold back the tide of notorious criminals. Gotham City is ripe for the taking. 
 
Meanwhile, Luke Fox wants to prove he has what it takes to help people in his role as Batwing. He targets a new thief on the prowl who seems cleverer than most. She has teamed up with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, and together they are wreaking havoc. This Catwoman may be Batwing's undoing. 
 
In this third DC Icons book--following Leigh Bardugo's Wonder Woman: Warbringer and Marie Lu's Batman: Nightwalker--Selina is playing a desperate game of cat and mouse, forming unexpected friendships and entangling herself with Batwing by night and her devilishly handsome neighbor Luke Fox by day. But with a dangerous threat from the past on her tail, will she be able to pull off the heist that's closest to her heart?
