Do you know how many underground stations he did?

Hard to be precise as you can see from the Wiki entry. A fair few although some were never completed such as the extension from Finsbury Park.

I own quite a few volumes of old fairy tales. The original un-Disneyfied versions or ones like Bluebeard that would never be told now, are quite terrifying. Hard to believe they were once considered children’s material.
