Christmassy Tales (anthology)
Christmassy Tales was a 2020 anthology written and self-published by Paul Magrs.[1] Many of the stories within the anthology made use of licensed DWU elements.
From a Doctor Who perspective, this anthology notably contained the first direct crossover story between the characters of Iris Wildthyme and Brenda and Effie, a short story which acted as a simultaneous continuation of The Nest Cottage Chronicles and Baker's End, and the return of several servo-furnishing characters in a story that tied-into the Mars Trilogy. This anthology also featured another story with concepts from Brenda & Effie, a reappearance by David, and several semi-autobiographical pieces with fictitious elements which featured an appearance by Panda.
