Read by Martin Jarvis. "The Wizard of the Talking Book." Daily Telegraph. Now as famous on radio and audio as they are in print, the adventures of that irrepressible and ageless schoolboy William Brown have been delighting 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 his 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. Martin Jarvis` readings have become classics in their own right and here he entertains us with ten personally selected stories: The Christmas Truce, Only Just in Time, The Midnight adventure of Miss Montague, William and the Musician, William leads a better life, William and the Twins, William`s Birthday, William and the Little Girl, The Outlaws and Cousin Percy, William and the Princess Goldilocks. Running time: 2 hrs 30 mins
