Story
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.

Story
Written in 1948 and made into a popular film the same year, Just William's Luck is the only novel Richmal Crompton wrote featuring her famous hero. The action takes place throughout one extraordinary day in William's life. It begins harmlessly enough in the old barn and soon develops into a riotous comedy-thriller as the invincible schoolboy hatches a plot to marry off the elder brothers of The Outlaws.

Just William
I liked this story because it is a boy who lives like us but in the olden times. William is a very mischievous boy who likes to make trouble somewhere. Although he is very mischievous, he is a very creative as he built his own den I the garden. He has and older brother and sister who are selfish and always show no respect for William. I would recommend this to children under thirteen because as you grow you become a teenager and I think they will grow out of that. I liked this audible book because it actually makes you feel like you are in there. Sometimes it makes you feel like it is you when you think you are in there. At our house it is a popular story as we listen to utmost of the tim

Wonderful story, beautifully read.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely. The whole family listened to Just William stories on a very lengthy car trip (15 hours drive). The time passed quickly, with my 7 year old boys, my mother-in-law, myself and my husband entranced by the stories. We roared with laughter at Williams antics and at times the car literally shook with laughter.
The stories are so simple and yet extremely clever and the reading is wonderful. My husband still repeats some of the phrases sometimes: "I'm just bein' plite" says my husband in his best William voice when he does something especially annoying...
What was one of the most memorable moments of Just William?
Every story was just so wonderful it's hard to pick a favourite moment. I'd say my best memory was looking around at the faces of my family, the seven year old boys and their grandmother sitting togethor, eyes bright with joy, at one, roaring with laughter.
Which scene was your favorite?
All!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Laugh, and laugh and laugh some more. At one point, we were rolling around the floor (in the Shakespeare story) weak with laughter. The boys didn't get all of it, but they did get the 'ham and eggs and bacon' jokes.
Any additional comments?
You will love, love, love these stories. I have already told my mother off for not giving them to me as a child. But I can still enjoy them now!!

Be Prepared to Laugh - Lots!
Would you listen to Just William again? Why?
We enjoyed this on holiday, as a family,.
We had to pause the story a time or two as the adults were in fits of laughter and the story could no longer be heard. ☺
I think this would be our favourite Just William audio, thanks mostly to the excellent narration by Martin Jarvis - that man is an artist!

Not for us
We thought this would be an intereseting series The stories have a little rascals in England twist to them but the story lines did not captivate my 7yr old son's attention and he was lost in all of the english phrases.
