About this book
Richmal Crompton's More William captures the irrepressible spirit of an eleven-year-old troublemaker whose mischievous escapades have delighted readers for generations. As the second collection in the beloved William series, this humorous short story collection follows the young rogue and his gang of Outlaws as they leave chaos in their wake throughout their unsuspecting village.
Within these fourteen independent tales, William's imagination and audacity know no bounds. Whether he's orchestrating a fake séance to trick his cousin Mildred or embarking on knight-like adventures with his loyal friend Ginger, each story brimming with pranks and clever scheming showcases the timeless humor that made this character iconic. Crompton's witty, observational writing style transcends age barriers, finding comedy in the everyday misunderstandings between well-meaning adults and one cunning schoolboy determined to bend the rules.
Written by a former schoolteacher who turned to full-time writing after a battle with polio, these stories radiate an infectious joy and celebration of youthful rebellion rather than cynicism. The William series became an unexpected literary phenomenon upon its 1922 debut, captivating both children and adults alike with its fresh, irreverent take on childhood adventure.
Perfect for anyone seeking timeless comedy fiction with genuine heart, More William remains an audiobook classic that rewards both nostalgic listeners and newcomers discovering William Brown's legendary exploits for the first time.
