Publisher's Summary
The people of the Crooked World lead an idyllic existence.
Take Streaky Bacon, for example. This jovial farmer wants nothing more from life than a huge blunderbuss, with which he can blast away at his crop-stealing nemesis. And then there's Angel Falls, a racing driver with a string of victories to her name. Sure, her trusted guardian might occasionally put on a mask and menace her for her prize money, but that's just life, right? And for Jasper the cat, nothing could be more pleasant than a nice, long nap in his kitchen -- so long as that darn mouse doesn't jam his tail into the plug socket again.
But somebody is about to shatter all those lives. Somebody is about to change everything -- and it's possible that no one on the Crooked World will ever be happy again.
The Doctor's TARDIS is about to arrive. And when it does... That's all folks!

Notes
There are many likenesses / similarities throughout The Crooked World to cartoon worlds / characters.
- The Skeleton Crew who travel around in a van and have as its members: Mike Leader, Harmony Looker, Thelma Brains, Tim Coward and a dog called Fearless.
- The Crooked World residents usually reproduce by writing the Baby Stork, so Fitz's introduction of sex to the world confuses them slightly.
Continuity
- The morphic planet from Grimm Reality is compared to the Crooked World planet.
