This was brilliant! I love the relationship between those two. Of course the master would love the Russians and Thomas Hardy! Though he might not have hated the Magic Faraway Tree. I think he would have quite liked the land of do as you please. Did you ever read V for Vendetta? The fact that they read the Magic Faraway Tree in that is one of the reasons I love it so much!

Aw, glad you liked it. And, yes, I used to love the Faraway Tree books - I don't think they're the worst thing Jo could have picked on, but probably not his first choice. (Sadly, Jo wouldn't be aware of worse horrors like Rainbow Magic, so I had to fall back on Enid Blyton).

I haven't read V for Vendetta, but when I looked up The Magic Faraway Tree (to check it had been published in time for wee!Jo to read it), Wikipedia told me that too. That is quite cool. :-)

I bet the Master scribbles pencil notes of criticism in the margins as well. Probably in the Doctor's copies of books, just to annoy him.

Heh, brilliant.

Which reminds me, I should probably start on some of mine...

Thank you!

And, yes, why not? I am all for more fic. :-)

That is so funny. And so them. Trust Jo to come up with a good threat for the Master.

Thanks! :-) And, yes, well, it was either that or nursery rhymes again, and even Jo might have found that difficult to keep up for an entire voyage...
