Product Description
Another welcome volume of stories in which Martin Jarvis, 'the wizard of the talking book', makes the voices of Richmal Crompton's scruffy hero William - and his gang of outlaws - his own. 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 friends Ginger, Douglas and Henry and the angelic thorn-in-his-side, the lisping Violet Elizabeth Bott, William has rightly joined the literary, and radio, immortals.

Format:Audio CD
I completely love all the William books, and wondered how they would translate to audio. William is, after all, a deeply special character and the wrong reading voice could be catastrophic...
I needn't have worried: Martin Jarvis is the PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT choice. He manages to give each of the characters a distinct voice and even manages to ENHANCE their characters. These audio CDs are a delight - I love to listen to them when I'm in the car and have even converted several passengers - children and adults alike - to the joys of Richmal Crompton's world of William.
These recordings are a complete joy - if you love William, you'll love these, I promise.

If you haven't heard of the Just William series, have children of five and upwards or like top quality light comedy, then I suggest you take a punt and try one of these CDs. It doesn't really matter which one, all that I have tried are uniformly good. They are perfect for car journeys, and unusually bear re-listening many times.
For those unacquainted with these British gems they are a loose equivalent of 'Petit Nicolas', and are just as good (which is saying something).
