There is only one William!
First published in 1922, Richmal Crompton’s much-loved Just William series features some of the most enduring characters in children’s literature. Along with his gang of Outlaws, the mischievous and eternally scruffy William Brown gets up to all sorts of trouble. From the first title in the series, Just William, to the final title, William at War, these books are charming, nostalgic, funny and are the perfect remedy for children aged 9-11 who are tired of hearing about goody two-shoes. The books feature original inside illustrations by Thomas Henry and each cover has been individually created by some of the most talented illustrators of our time – from illustrators such as Chris Riddell, Lauren Child and Rebecca Cobb (to name but a few!) each cover brings the delightfully impish character of William Brown to life in its own originally quirky way.
