Books with title Just William: Volume 9

Another welcome volume of stories in which Martin Jarvis, the wizard of the talking book, makes the voices of Richmal Crompton's scruffy hero William - and his gang of outlaws - his own. 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, he is a lovable 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.

"Just William" is the first book of children's short stories about the young school boy William Brown, written by Richmal Crompton, and published in 1922. The book was the first in the series of William Brown books which was the basis for numerous television series, films and radio adaptations. Just William is also sometimes used as a title for the series of books as a whole, and is also the name of various television, film and radio adaptations of the books. William Brown is an eleven-year-old boy, eternally scruffy and frowning. William and his friends, Ginger, Henry and Douglas, call themselves the Outlaws, and meet at the old barn in Farmer Jenks' field, with William being the leader of the gang. The Outlaws are sworn enemies of the Hubert Laneites, with whom they frequently clash. (Excerpt from Wikipedia)
