Scattered through time and space, many women have crossed paths with the Doctor – friends,
foes, and figures from history – and there can be a strange chemistry when they meet…
Impulsive warrior encounters celebrated scientist, as Leela and the Doctor run into Marie
Curie in 1920s America.
And in a quiet English village, one of the Doctor’s oldest enemies seeks out one of his most
devoted companions to find an escape – and the results are explosive!
3.1 A Ghost of Alchemy by Louise Jameson.
When the TARDIS lands in New York in 1921 the Doctor takes the opportunity to introduce
Leela to one of the foremost women of the age - the great Marie Curie, visiting America to be
celebrated for her work.
But the time travellers are not the only people interested in the famous scientist. Sinister
forces are gathering around her and the TARDIS crew will have to work their utmost to keep
her safe on her historic journey through the United States.
3.2 Fairies at The Bottom of The Garden by Karissa Hamilton-Bannis.
Young Amelia Pond is used to getting into trouble. After another fight at school, she is sent
back to counselling. But her new therapist is rather unconventional…
Because Missy is also in trouble. Stuck on Earth, she’s targeted one of the Doctor’s best friends
to get his attention – but her timing’s off. Amy’s TARDIS encounters lie years in her past and
future, but there’s something strange in her garden now. As Missy sets her sights on young
Pond, the fairies may be her only hope!
