Doctor Who book Collected Works Series Bernice Summerfield Release number 8 Featuring Bernice Summerfield Publisher Big Finish Productions ISBN ISBN 1-84435-241-2 Release date September 2006 Preceded by Something Changed Followed by Old Friends Collected Works is a Big Finish original anthology edited by Nick Wallace, featuring Bernice Summerfield, a character from the spin-off media based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.
Although an anthology of short stories, the individual stories are somewhat linked, creating an overarching narrative for the book. As with all Doctor Who spin-off media, its relationship to the televised serials is open to interpretation. Collected Works takes place concurrently with Season 7 of the Bernice Summerfield audio plays range, and contains references to several of the plays.

Synopsis
Following on from the events of The Crystal of Cantus, Collected Works details a year in the life of the Braxiatel Collection following its founder's disappearance. The staff of the Collection have to cope with their new place in the universe, and a visit from a team of post-human scholars from the future, called the Quire. As the year progresses, it becomes clear that even though he has left them, Braxiatel's influence can still be felt on the Collection.
