I don't suppose that anyone would know if there's a good place to find books of fairy tales and the like that isn't Hoarders?
I'd appreciate any assistance.

Have you tried the library? I hear it has books.

[rule_britannia]

It does, but they don't tend to take kindly to it when you keep them.

[amberalert]

Only if you're caught.

[rule_britannia]

Are you advocating stealing, Pan?

[amberalert]

Borrowing.

And not returning it.

[rule_britannia]

An extended loan, perhaps?

[amberalert]

An extended loan!

[rule_britannia]

I knew all those years of dreary politics would come in useful one day.

[amberalert]

It all worked out.

[rule_britannia]

I love it when a plan comes together.
I haven't been able to find your book anywhere, but I suppose it's just as well that I don't need to.

[amberalert]

Is it really not anywhere?

[rule_britannia]

Not that I've been able to find, but I know the entire thing by heart.

[amberalert]

Do you? Oh good. You can repeat it for me later.

[rule_britannia]

If you insist. I can even write it down.

[amberalert]

You're going to make me read it rather than hear your exciting interpretation?

[rule_britannia]

Did you consider that there might be other people who would want to read it?
I've no objections towards relating it aloud to you.

[amberalert]

Were you going to give it to someone else to read? Who was it that liked fairy tales besides you?

[rule_britannia]

Given the size of the population here, I don't doubt that there will be somebody.

[amberalert]

Clearly someone specific is on your mind, however.

[rule_britannia]

That's a possibility I won't deny.

[amberalert]

Is it a girl?

[rule_britannia]

None of your sodding business!

[amberalert]

Bobble likes a girl~

[freezespirited]

I didn't know you were into those, Arthur.

[rule_britannia]

You never did ask, Jack, but as it happens I'm looking for someone else...

[freezespirited]

Aw. Arthur. I didn't know you cared about someone.

You'll want to get one with lots of pictures.

[rule_britannia]

I am capable of it, you cheeky sod.
And to be honest, this really is a case of the more words the better.
Though I suppose a few pictures wouldn't go amiss.

[icanbuyafez]

Come on, Arthur! You should know that the TARDIS has got the best selection of books on the island! I've got fairy tales from at least a dozen different centuries. I've even got human tales from Fairyland!

[rule_britannia]

I wouldn't like to be an imposition...

[icanbuyafez]

You could never be an imposition! I thought the key made that clear?!

[rule_britannia]

Key or not, the TARDIS is still yours, Doctor.
Call it stuffy British manners if you must but I've always been of the opinion that walking through someone's property without asking first is bad form.
Much less removing things from said property.

[librariansheart]

Oh! Well, there aren't too many bookstores anymore, but I can give you a list, if you like! Or, ah... I could always get you a set from my home, if you were interested.

[rule_britannia]

Ah, that's kind of you.. but the thing is, they're not for me. A list should be just fine.

I've personally found a decent selection at the library. And for everything else... I'd be surprised if that giant library in the TARDIS doesn't have it. I'm sure if you ask, the Doctor will let you borrow books from it.

[He chuckles softly.]

The library selection is decent enough, though I've yet to find something there that I haven't seen. The Doctor offered to let me check the TARDIS so perhaps I might.
