| abstract | - The release contained four separate short stories, including:
* Spring by Mike Maddox from a story by Paul Cornell
* Summer by Mike Maddox from an idea by Paul Cornell
* Autumn by Paul Cornell
* Winter by Paul Cornell The theme of the compilation, as suggested by the title, was the passage of time — specifically the time of the friendship between Nyssa and the Fifth Doctor. A story was taken from each of the major periods of their friendship's life — spring, summer, autumn and winter — to indicate how it matured. Each story was also of a different genre — adventure with aliens on a distant planet, celebrity historical, character piece, and high-concept adventure. Despite the presence of a cohesive theme, however, the stories shared no narrative continuity at all.
