Equally worried is Miss Hawthorne, the local white witch, who foretells a terrible disaster if he goes ahead.

'HARKEN TO MY VOICE, OH DARK ONE; ANCIENT AND AWFUL; SUPREME IN ARTIFICE; BEARER OF POWER; I CONJORE THEE!'
Working with UNIT on earth, the Doctor is strangely concerned about Professor Horner's plans to cut open an ancient barrow near the peaceful village of Devil's End. Equally worried is Miss Hawthorne, the local white witch, who foretells a terrible disaster if he goes ahead. The only person who wants Horner to open to the barrow is the new vicar - in truth the Master - whose secret ceremomies are designed to conjure up from the barrow a horribly powerful being.
The author, Barry Letts, has been associated with Doctor Who in several capacities, mainly as a director and producer during the Pertwee years.

Deviations from televised story[[edit] | [edit source]]
- As in the earlier novelisation PROSE: Doctor Who and the Zarbi, the Doctor is referred to in the text by the name "Doctor Who".
- Some characters are renamed: Jim is renamed Josh Wilkins and Tom Girton is renamed Tom Wilkins.
- Several characters are given first or last names: Bert is given the last name Walker, Thorpe is given the first name Ron and Winstanley's full name is given as Montmorency Vere de Vere Winstanley.
- Benton's scenes with Miss Hawthorne are expanded upon.
- Benton and Miss Hawthorne draw a pentagram to try to destroy Bok.
- The Master is upset when he thinks he killed the Doctor.
- The baker's man is not left behind at the heat barrier but is instead given a lift by the Brigadier and his driver — who is named as Manders — in the staff car to Lob's Crick, so he can phone his "Guv'nor". He is also described as being an "eighteen-year-old with spots and a brown overall" — quite unlike Gerald Taylor, who played the part on television and was thirty-one at the time.
- The Brigadier gives his order "Chap with wings there. Five rounds rapid!" to Corporal Nevin, rather than Jenkins.
Writing and publishing notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Title page includes: THE CHANGING FACE OF DOCTOR WHO. The cover illustration of this book portrays the third DOCTOR WHO whose physical appearance was altered by the Time Lords when they banished him to planet Earth in the Twentieth Century.
- This is the only novelisation of a televised story to be written by series producer Barry Letts. He would later novelise two Third Doctor radio plays and also write several original novels.
- This novelisation was later released as part of The Master Collection.
- The front cover of the 1982 hardback edition inadvertently featured the words "Doctor Who" twice — i.e. "DOCTOR WHO AND THE DÆMONS" appeared beneath the Doctor Who logo instead of "...AND THE DÆMONS".
