In other news, I went looking in local charity shops for a copy of Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange & Mr Norell, a novel I’ve read twice but don’t have a physical copy. No luck on that front but I did find a delightful hardback of The Hobbit (I have the paperback version so this is an upgrade). Plus I found a pile of old Target Doctor Who novelisations and picked out the adaptation of the first encounter with the Daleks. Yes, this is the one that alters the story from what was broadcast and omits the Tribe of Gum adventure entirely, skipping straight to Skaro. I’ll add it to my ever-increasing tsundoku with the intention of writing about it on Legion of Impossibilities.
