I would say this is the worst Time Lord fairy tale yet except I can't reject the possibility that there's a worse one I've purged from my memory. It's completely devoid of incident of interest. A pair of twins is framed by an evil uncle for killing their father, so they are exiled. But while they're gone, a nice guy fixes the problem for them. All they do is wait! They literally never make a single decision in the course of this story. Except, the woods they hide in are on Gallifrey for some reason. Why? Who knows, because it literally has no ramifications on the story. It does let David Wardle draw a nice picture of the Capitol in his woodcut style (as you can see on the cover), I suppose. But Jesus, what a waste of paper and time.
