William the pirate

by Richmal Crompton

William Brown, the lovable rogue created by Richmal Crompton in the 1930s, is as well-received and enjoyed today as he almost 80 years ago. Martin Jarvis has long been the voice of William, and brings a youthful sense of joy and childlike excitement to the reading. This title includes stories such "William and the Musician", "William Holds the Stage", "The Outlaws and the Triplets", "William and the Eatern Curse", "The New Neighbor", "Mrs. Bott's Hat", "William and the Princess Goldilocks", "Their Good Resolution", "William's Intervention", "Aunt Arabelle in Charge", and "A Little Affair of Rivalry".
