Customer Reviews

Absolutely hilarious

I own 12 of these titles, and scour secondhand bookshops for any others I can find. The stories, especially the earlier ones (written from about 1920 to just after WW2), are sidesplittingly funny. Yes, they are that old. The author was a former school teacher who quit because of health issues, and had a natural understanding of boys. William, the eternal 11 year old the stories revolve around is incorrigible, and gets into hilarious situations in which he (mostly) means well. The books are divided into chapters, each of which are self contained stories. If you have a sense of humour you'll love William.
