"Slick and polished...immersive productions of much-loved novelisations...long may we enjoy them." - Doctor Who Magazine

A thrilling novelisation of a classic TV adventure for the First Doctor.

Peter Purves reads this thrilling novelisation of a classic TV adventure for the First Doctor. Somewhere outside space and time there waits the Celestial Toymaker, an enigmatic being who ensnares unwary travellers into his domain to play out his dark and deadly games.

Separated from the security of the TARDIS, the Doctor is forced to play the complex trilogic game with the evil magician. Meanwhile, Dodo and Steven must enter into a series of tests with, among others, the schoolboy Cyril and the King and Queen of Hearts.

If the travellers lose, they are condemned to become the Toymaker's playthings for all eternity. For in the malevolent wonderland that is the Celestial Toyroom, nothing is just for fun...

Peter Purves, who played Steven in the Doctor Who TV series, reads Gerry Davis and Alison Bingeman's novelisation of the 1966 TV adventure by Brian Hayles.

Reading produced by Morrison Ellis. Sound design by David Roocroft. Executive Producer for BBC Audiobooks: Michael Stevens

The first story to feature the Toymaker. Who came back in the 60th anniversary episode the Giggle. Played by Michael Gough in the first, but played by Neil Patrick Harris in the anniversary. This was a great story

A classic
