101 Places to See
101 Places to See was a book given to Clara Oswald by her mother. It was on a bookshelf with a number of other books on places such as America and India.
It was her inspiration to go travelling after she finished university, but her plans changed and she became a nanny living with family friends. She kept the book as a reminder that she still intended to travel at some point.
Inside, she kept an envelope, as well as a large maple leaf she referred to as the first page. On the first page she had also written "Property of Clara Oswald age 9". She then continued to replace her age each year, with the exception of 16 and 23, as she grew older until she was 24. (TV: The Bells of Saint John)
