Everyone's favourite troublemaker, William Brown, is back with a contemporary cover look illustrated by Chris Judge and an introduction by Sir Tony Robinson.
Everyone's favourite troublemaker is still up to mischief!
William's natural desire to do the right thing leads him into serious trouble, as usual, and when blackmail and kidnapping are involved, it's no surprise. Even when he turns over a new leaf, the consequences are dire. But it's his new neighbour, Violet Elizabeth Bott, who really causes chaos – and no one will believe that it's not William's fault . . .
Richmal Crompton's Still William is a collection of fourteen brilliant Just William stories with an introduction by Sir Tony Robinson, appealing contemporary cover art by Chris Judge, along with the original inside illustrations by Thomas Henry.
There is only one William. This tousle-headed, snub-nosed, hearty, lovable imp of mischief has been harassing his unfortunate family and delighting his hundreds of thousands of admirers since 1922.

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.
