More from the Fifteenth Doctor in the latest instalment in BBC Children’s Books Icons series – where the Doctor meets notable figures from history. This time around it’s the turn of mid-20th-century writer Shirley Jackson, famous for her short stories and novels, which include The Haunting of Hill House.
