Note: Original printing has a red reflective foil Doctor Who logo on the cover. Reprinted several times between 1982 and 1985 with identical cover and ISBN, but with the Doctor Who logo simply printed in red instead (no foil). Cover blurb: A strange girl who knows far more than she should about the past — and the future... Two worried teachers whose curiosity leads them to a deserted junk yard, an extraordinary police box and a mysterious traveller known only as the Doctor... A fantastic journey through Space and Time ending in a terrifying adventure at the dawn of history... DOCTOR WHO AND AN UNEARTHLY CHILD |
Note: The French title literally translates as “Doctor Who enters the scene” or “Doctor Who comes in”. One of 8 French novelisations, all published in 1987 — the others were: The Daleks, The Dalek Invasion of Earth, The Crusaders, The Masque of Mandragora, The Brain of Morbius, The Abominable Snowmen and Meglos. Cover blurb: Seigneur du Temps, héros de l’Éternité, le Docteur Who connaît aujourd’hui une fantastique popularité. Le succès inégalé de la série télévisée qui lui a donné naissance, la fascination qu’il exerce sur un immense public à travers plus de cent pays contribuent à faire de ce personnage un véritable mythe pour la premiere fois révélé en France. Pour la première fois, des terriens accompagnent le docteur Who dans son voyage à l’aube de l’humanité quand les hommes n’étaient que des demibêtes. Parviendront-ils à déjouer tous les pièges de cette terrifiante guerre du feu? |
Note: The German title rather poetically translates as “Doctor Who and the Child of the Stars”. In total, 6 TV novelisations were translated into German — the others were The Daleks, The Dalek Invasion of Earth, Planet of the Daleks, Death to the Daleks and Destiny of the Daleks. Cover blurb: Der phantastische Dr. WHO mit seinem unmöglichen Raum-schiff auf Abenteuersuche im Weltall! Als Dr. Who mit seinem Begleitern auf dem öden Planeten landet, ahnt zunächst niemand etwas Böses. Doch dann wird der Doktor von Steinzeitmenschen entführt, die ihn, den Pfeifenraucher, für einen mächtigen Feuerzauberer halten. Und weil die Macht hat, wer über das Feuer gebietet, wird der Doktor wider Willen zu einer begehrten Trophäe unter den Steinzeitsmenschen. Bei ihrem verzweifelten Befreiungsversuch geraten Ian, Barbara und Susan zu allem Unglück ebenfalls in die Gewalt der Wilden — und nun werden Stimmen laut, die Fremden doch dem Sonnengott zu opfern... |
Note: Same ISBN as previous UK paperback edition. This and The War Games (published simultaneously) were the first of the so-called “blue spine” Virgin reprints — approximately 70 Target novelisations reprinted with new cover designs between 1990 and 1994 after Virgin Books took over the Target imprint. Cover blurb: Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright are teachers at Coal Hill School in London. One of their pupils, a girl named Susan Foreman, intrigues them: she displays strange knowledge and an uncanny intelligence. They follow her home — and she leads them to a police telephone box, incongruously parked in a junk yard, where they meet a tetchy, white-haired old man. Susan calls him grandfather, but he says he is known as the Doctor... |
