William

"William" introduces readers to the irrepressible William Brown, one of the most beloved and mischievous characters in British children's literature. This collection of stories captures the essence of childhood through the eyes of an eleven-year-old boy whose well-intentioned plans inevitably lead to chaos and hilarity.
