Being a Girl with The Doctor
Throughout the long running BBC series Doctor Who, the Doctor has rarely been alone, traveling with both female and male "companions." The companion is essential to Doctor Who because he or she is a stand-in for the audience, providing information about the Doctor's ongoing adventures. With the casting of a female actor in the role of the Doctor in 2018, one criticism of the series was finally resolved. After the shift in gender identity, the role of the Doctor and the companion also shifted--or has it? The continued focus on romantic relations between the TARDIS occupants has led to complaints from both male and female fans, reiterating and reinforcing myriad criticisms about the portrayal of the female companions. Essays in this book consider how gender is presented in Doctor Who and how certain female companions have been able to break out of the gendered roles usually assigned to them through the classic and new series.
It Means the World to Us
What topic could be more meaningful to us as a species at this time? It affects us as individuals, as communities, and impacts all species locally and globally. Never has sustainability been more important as a concept than now, and quite probably will remain so long into the future. Never has change been so key in the survival of our collective future. The place of literature and the arts in this discussion is as vital as any scientific discovery too, as it is only through story and shared narrative that the necessary change in understanding will happen. Story, whether poetic or dramatic, is unique in that it is borne of a mind and yet has the power to transform and change the minds of others. This anthology has such stories and contains, for the first time, stories written by children alongside those written by adults. A timely reminder, one hopes, that it is an intergenerational approach that will craft a story of sustainability in which we can all believe as we strive for a positive environmental future.

In the Shadow of Benbulben
In January 1939, just months after hanging up his boots and a few weeks into his new career as a talent scout, William Ralph 'Dixie' Dean, the former Everton and England legend, received a surprise request for assistance from the far west of Ireland. Could he find a goalscorer for Sligo Rovers - the beating heart of a small, provincial town - to drive their dreams of a lucrative cup run and help protect the club's very existence? Dean set about finding the right man, but unable to locate candidates willing to make the move across the Irish Sea, he had an idea. What if he were to answer Sligo's call? And so began the unlikely story of how one of the greatest centre-forwards ever to grace the game added an unexpected and ultimately uplifting chapter to his storied football career. In the Shadow of Benbulben is a romantic tale of divine intervention, uncanny timing and drama on and off the pitch. It's the tale of 'Dixie' Dean's four months with the Bit O'Red that was to leave an indelible mark on the player, the club and the town.
