Critic reviews

"The humour needless to say is as dry as ever, and while William remains eternally 11, age has not withered Jarvis' youthful delivery." ( Sunday Times)

Brilliant as usual

As a child I loved William stories and then enjoyed reading them again and listening to the abridged BBC readings by Martin Jarvis with my own children. These timeless full-length stories are a real treat and Martin Jarvis is the perfect reader.

I love William

Lose yourself in these hilarious stories and remember or otherwise wish they returned, the days of such a care free life, safety, innocence and charm. You can never go wrong with any William stories. Absolutely delightful.
