Myths & Legends was a 2017 collection of short stories.

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

For thousands of years, epic stories have been passed down from Time Lord to student, generation to generation. The truth of these tales was lost millennia ago, but the myths and legends themselves are timeless.

These are the most enduring of those tales. From the princess Manussa and her giant snake Mara, to the Vardon Horse of Xeriphin, these stories shed light on the universe around us and the beings from other worlds that we meet. Myths hold up a mirror to our past, present and future, explaining our culture, our history, our hopes and fears.

A collection of epic adventures from the Time Lords’ mist-covered past, Myths and Legends is an unforgettable gallery of heroes and villains, gods and monsters.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Similar to the Virgin Decalogs and Big Finish Short Trips books before it, this anthology is built around the titular theme of myths and legends. The table of contents states which story each short story is based on.
Richard Dinnick also wrote Underworld of the Daleks for this anthology but it went unpublished. Dinnick released the full story on his website during Doctor Who: Lockdown! in 2020.^[1]
