to make the Emperor a special suit that has magical powers. The
merchants, however, are not who they claim to be, and the suit has
one major flaw, no one can see it!

Two adventures from the early 1980s with Peter Davison starring as
the Time Lord. In 'Kinda' (1982), the Doctor (Davison), Tegan
(Janet Fielding), Adric (Matthew Waterhouse) and Nyssa (Sarah
Sutton) land on paradisical Deva Loka, for rest and recuperation.
However, the military expediton on the planet has lost several crew
members, and the Doctor and Adric are taken hostage by the near
hysterical Hindle. Meanwhile, Tegan's dreams have provided the
gateway to an ancient evil, the snake-like Mara. The Doctor must
prevent the Mara from taking over the Kinda and destroying the
expedition, as the wheel of creation begins to turn. In
'Snakedance' (1983), a loose sequel to 'Kinda', Tegan must have
made a mistake when she was setting the co-ordinates for the
TARDIS, because the Doctor certainly hadn't intended landing on
Manussa. When the Doctor learns that Manussa was once the home of
the Sumaran Empire, he realises that an evil force has begun to
take over Tegan's will. This force, the Mara, is planning to use
Tegan as a vehicle to retake power on Manussa. Just as the
celebrations to commemorate the destruction of the Sumaran Empire
by the Federation are about to take place, the Legend of Mara is
about to come true.
Cinderella's wicked stepmother won't let her go to the ball. But
with a little help from a Fairy Godmother, she'll be getting there
in style. There's just one catch. At midnight, her magical gown
will turn back into dirty old rags.
A fiery speaker, Sojourner Truth was among the foremost women evangelists. This reprint of her original 1878 publication sheds light into the life of this well-known ex-slave and ardent abolitionist.
