William the Fourth

In Richmal Compton’s William the Fourth is the fourth classic set of adventures featuring the hero of Just William. Whether he’s occupying a bear suit that’s slightly too small for him, cloaked in mystery as a fortune teller or attired in the flowing robes of a Fairy Queen, William is unmistakably himself: trouble in human form. Only Great-Aunt Jane manages to take William on at his own game – and win! This collection of fourteen brilliant Just William stories features appealing contemporary cover art by Lydia Monks, along with the original inside illustrations by Thomas Henry.
