About this listen

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)

Another delightful collection of William stories read by the brilliant Martin Jarvis. As in the first collection, his narration is flawless and he brings all the characters to life perfectly. As with the first one, I can listen to these stories again and again and never get tired of them.

Loved it thoroughly. It shows a great understanding of children, and Comedic class. It surpassed my (extremely high) expectations. Martin Jarvis really does the magnificent words of Richmal Crompton justice. Kim's son age 11

AHilarious story a credit to childrens literature

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!

Brilliant

All just William stories are fabulous, and Martin Jarvis ''s reading of them is inspired. I can't recommend this highly enough. Laugh out loud for real. And something to listen to time and time again.

Joyous
