Martin Jarvis, the wizard of the talking book' has made 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. This volume of Just William features the following stories: 'William Turns Over a New Leaf'/'William and Dear Little Peter'/'William and the Waxwork Prince'/'William and the White Cat'/'William and Photography'/'The Great Detective'/'The Fete - and Fortune'/'The Weak Spot'/'The Outlaws Go a-Mumming'/ William's Double Life'/'William to the Rescue'/'William the Film Star'.
