The Mind Robber, was first broadcast on television in 1968.

To escape a catastrophic volcanic erruption the Doctor takes the TARDIS out of space and time – and into a void he can only describe as ‘nowhere’.

But the crisis is far from over and when the time-machine’s circuits overload, the TARDIS explodes.

The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe come to in a dark unearthly forest.

There they encounter a host of characters who seem somehow familiar: a beautiful princess with long flaxen hair, a sea traveller dressed in eighteenth-century clothes, and a white rabbit frantically consulting his pocket watch…

What is happening to the three time-travellers? What strange power guides their actions? In the Land of Fiction who can really tell?

This novelization, first published in 1986, is by Peter Ling, who wrote the scripts of four of the five television episodes.
