Publisher's Summary

A second wonderful collection of Just William stories, selected and read by Martin Jarvis

Richmal Crompton's stories featuring irrepressible schoolboy William Brown have been firm favourites with both young and old for decades. Perpetually scruffy, mud-stained and mischievous, he is a lovable scamp whose pranks usually end in disaster - for his harassed elders at least.

With friends Ginger, Douglas and Henry (the Outlaws) and the angelic thorn-in-his-side, the lisping Violet Elizabeth Bott, William has rightly joined the literary, and radio, immortals.

Musical Theme: Won't You Be My Ginger? composed and performed by Richard Dworsky (piano) (c) 1995 Inner Vista Music (BMI)

Go William

Excellent. Always loved the William books and wasn’t quite sure how this would come off as an audio book but it is GREAT. Martin Jarvis manages to be an 11 year old urchin and a cast of broad characters (sometimes all at once) in absurd scrapes and it really works. Richmal Crompton would be delighted.

All good this book was hilarious. Everyone in my family liked it except for my little brother, but he just doesn't really like anything.
