A second wonderful collection of Just William tales, determined and read by Martin Jarvis

Richmal Crompton’s tales featuring irrepressible schoolboy William Dark brown have been strong favourites with both young and old for decades. Perpetually scruffy, mud-stained and mischievous, he’s a lovable scamp whose pranks generally end in catastrophe – for his harassed elders at least.

With friends Ginger, Douglas and Henry (the Outlaws) and the angelic thorn-in-his-side, the lisping Violet Elizabeth Bott, about Just William: A Second BBC Radio Collection William has rightly joined the literary, and radio, immortals.
