The adventures of that irrepressible and ageless schoolboy
William Brown have been delighting both young and old for
decades. In this new collection, performed by Martin Jarvis,
the heroically optimistic William and his faithful Outlaws
embark on more intrepid adventures, and once again find themselves
pitted against the fearsome wiles of their lisping nemesis,
Violet Elizabeth Bott...
Just
William: Volume 10 is another collection of stories in
which Martin Jarvis brings Richmal Crompton's scruffy hero
William and his gang of outlaws to life. Now as famous on
radio and audio as they are in print, the adventures of that
irrepressible and ageless schoolboy William Brown have been
delighting both young and old for decades.
Perpetually
scruffy, mud-stained and mischievous, William is a loveable
scamp whose pranks usually end in disaster - for his harassed
elders at least. With friends Ginger, Douglas and Henry and
the angelic thorn-in-his-side, the lisping Violet Elizabeth
Bott, William has rightly joined the literary, and radio,
immortals.
Disc one contains five tales from the book Just William
Doin' Good, while the five on disc two are taken from
Violet Elizabeth's Party (from the collection William
and the Witch) and William the Matchmaker (from
Still William). These
tales were originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2007 under
the overall title Just William Strikes Again.
This
is a delightful collection which will appeal to the young
and young at heart. It's great to see William still going
strong, and it's a credit to Crompton's writing that the scruffy
scamp is still as loveable today as he was when he was first
conceived.
