Summary
A second wonderful collection of Just William stories, selected and read by Martin Jarvis
Richmal Crompton's stories featuring irrepressible schoolboy William Brown have been firm favourites with 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 (the Outlaws) and the angelic thorn-in-his-side, the lisping Violet Elizabeth Bott, William has rightly joined the literary, and radio, immortals.
Musical Theme: Won't You Be My Ginger? composed and performed by Richard Dworsky (piano) (c) 1995 Inner Vista Music (BMI)

Brilliant
This is one of few audiobooks that both my 6 and 10 year olds are absolutely obsessed with. They’ve both listened to both collections many times over and I’m sure they’ll listen many more times over the years. The stories are super fun and also educational (a discussion on socialism for example!) and I love listening in when I can! The vocabulary is quite advanced for a 6 year old so it’s nice for their range of words to be stretched a bit!

Old fashioned entertainment
As an older listener, listening to these stories is like escaping back to my childhood. I now have grandsons and recognise a lot of William and the outlaws in them.

Funniest stories going
I’ve been listening to Martin Jarvis reading the Just William stories since I was a kid and continue to find them genuinely amusing and stupendously well-performed. Crompton’s writing is joyful, and Jarvis is well-matched as the performer, whose command of different voices never ceases to amaze and amuse me.

Just Richmal Crompton
Martin Jarvis was born for this. His performance is outstanding, you hear the innocent boy under the little rogue, the exasperated father and the harassed and pre-occupied mother. Unfortunately, by now, Richmal Crompton is beginning to run out of themes and so if you have already heard the first book some of the stories are a bit repetitious. If however you are, like me, an addict you will forgive her and enjoy this very stylish trip to a class ridden but comfortable society that was once ours.

Great Fun.
Great fun for fans of Rjchmal Crompton's incorrigible little rogue and nobody interprets all the characters better than Martin Jarvis.
