The Lucy Wilson Mysteries

The Lucy Wilson Mysteries are now on the Guide!

Big thanks to @ThetaSigmaEarChef for providing the spreadsheet and researching the appearance of certain characters (which may still need tweaking).

Who is Lucy Wilson, you ask? Why, only the granddaughter of The Brigadier!

This spin-off series from Lethbridge-Stewart is aimed at a younger audience, and related to several Classic Who stories.

It looks pretty cute. Has anyone read any of these? Do you recommend them?

I’ve read a bit of Lucy Wilson, but only insomuch as her appearances in the Lethbridge-Stewart range.

I like the character and I think I’d like her series, but, well, time and money are the only two reasons I haven’t dipped in.

I’ve never even heard of this! Goes to show the scope of the franchise, I guess :laughing:

Too many on my to read pile and not enough money in my bank account mean I’ll probably never get around to these sadly, although I’d like to as I’m a big fan of children’s fiction. It would be interesting to see how these compare to the more mainstream children’s books. I think I have a couple of digital freebie ones.

Read The Brigadier & the Bledoe Cadets because I saw that it has 13 in it, though her cameo is very small, but a nice little touch and thought it was fairly fun. Not sure that I’ll read any more of these but I did quite like Lucy and I could see this being a really fun series for kids who are actually in the target age range for them

I must admit I never heard of this Series, but I would be curious to give it a shoot some day (not now, as I’d like to finish other Who Book Ranges first, lol).
Nice Idea I must admit, even if this is an Oddity for sure! But that’s nice, just shows how big the World of Who is!

I believe that these are a spinoff of the Candy Jar Lethbridge-Stewart series.

They are indeed. Lucy is Alistair’s granddaughter. She’s shown up in the Lethbridge-Stewart line, and of course has her own series. Afraid I’ve not dipped into her series, much as I’d like to.

Read The Serpent’s Tongue and while obvious it’s for a younger Audience, I had a good, solid Time with it. It was honestly a solid fun Kids Book, shame almost nobody logged this one on the Site, let alone rated it! :frowning:

I’m really confused - I visited the link that many of the stories have and downloaded a PDF of the Lucy Wilson Collection.

But none of the short stories in that seem to be on here?

There are dozens of PDFs, all linked from the story pages, they aren’t all in one.

It’s just because the story Lethbridge-Sewart linked me to a collection titled The Lucy Wilson Collection, but that story doesn’t seem to be in The Lucy Wilson Collection (none of the stories in The Lucy Wilson Collection seem to be on the site actually).

Do the stories have different names perhaps?

Screenshots from the PDF:

Ah, the last story is called “Lethbridge-Sewart” on the Wiki but it’s “Alistair Lethbridge-Sewart” in the book.

So that’s the story. I’ll edit the title.

All the others are on there.

As it says on the site, 2 of them are just excerpts, so I didn’t put them as actually in the book, they are full books available elsewhere (Avatars of the Intelligence and Curse of the Mirror Clowns)

Aah it all makes sense now!

I sent suggestions, but I probably should have just commented here instead: the School Children stories are missing Hobo in the Characters section.
