The Stones of Spookiness (short story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Stones of Spookiness was a short story written by Paul Magrs, based on his journey back from the Utopia convention in Oxfordshire. The story was notable for also featuring Panda, who is Iris Wildthyme's companion.
Plot
Returning from the Utopia convention in Oxfordshire, Paul Magrs, Jeremy, and Panda stop at the Rollright Stones. It is the first time Paul has visited a stone circle, despite them appearing in some of his favourite stories. Panda is also "delighted" that the size of the stones are "Panda-sized".
Paul has also been reading a couple of books by Penelope Lively over the course of the week, and on Tuesday, he reads them on the train from London to Manchester.
