Richmal Crompton in good form. The Just William stories are basically following a similar formula, but it's a hilarious formula: all the follies and ridiculousness of the adult world are exposed when they are near the destructive force of nature that is William and his friends. Really funny to lose myself in William's world and William's logic.
This issue has been presented to Joyce Andrews, year ending 31st Dec. 1933. The bookplate was the Harehills Avenue Primitive Methodist School, [London,] first prize.
