The Time Lord Letters (novel)

The Time Lord Letters is a collection of letters and writings by and to the Doctor. It hearkens back to many televised adventures, and adds many more details of its own. The book is written as a historical publication written and compiled by an in-universe writer who provides background information on each document. Most letters are original to the book, but some, such as the letter written to the Tenth Doctor by Madame de Pompadour before her death, are lifted directly from television stories.

Publisher's summary
A unique collection of more than 100 never-before-seen letters, notes, and jottings both by and to the Doctor—correspondence by turns entertaining and inspiring, funny and flippant, brilliant and incredible drawn from all fifty-two years of the show.

No one could travel through history—past present and future—as much as the Doctor does without leaving an impression. Much of what we know about this mysterious figure comes from what he does— the planets he saves and the monsters he defeats. But until now we've had little knowledge of his writings.

These rich and diverse documents paint an extraordinarily detailed picture of the Doctor and include his plea to the Time Lords to help end the War Games, an extract from the written defence he submitted at his subsequent trial, his application for the post of Caretaker at Coal Hill School, his apology to the Queen for missing dinner, even telepathic messages to the High Council on Gallifrey and his famous letter to Santa Claus. Like the Doctor himself, the mood can change in an instant.

The Time Lord Letters captures the best and most dramatic moments of an impossible life. You'll never see the Doctor in quite the same way again.

Introduction
The author of The Time Lord Letters introduces the work. They explain who the Doctor is and the role they have played in history, as well as the scarcity of information about them. Of the known written works by the Doctor, the brief message of the words "No More" blasted onto a wall during the fall of the Gallifreyan city of Arcadia near the end of the Last Great Time War is the most famous. The author explains how The Time Lord Letters brings together documents from archives and collections throughout time and space to shed new light on the mysterious Doctor and their life.
