William at Christmas by Richmal Crompton

Everyone's favourite troublemaker is causing trouble all year round! In this charming, festive edition, Richmal Crompton's beloved troublemaker is up to mischief once more. Featuring Thomas Henry's original illustrations and a gorgeous new cover.

It's the holiday season and William Brown has lots to do. Not only does he need to find the hidden Christmas presents and get ready for the local pantomime, but he also has to put up with prim and proper aunts. Joined by his gang of ever faithful Outlaws, he's sure to make Christmas unforgettable and attract trouble wherever he goes.

There is only one William. This tousle-headed, snub-nosed, hearty, lovable imp has been harassing his unfortunate family and delighting readers since 1922. Enjoy more of William's adventures in Just William, More William, William Again, and William the Outlaw.

Richmal Crompton was born in Lancashire, England, in 1890. The first story about William Brown appeared in Home magazine in 1919, and the first collection of William stories was published in book form three years later. In all, thirty-eight William books were published, the last one in 1970, after Richmal Crompton's death.
