There is only one Just William, and for nearly a century readers have been unable to look away. William Brown is eleven years old, leader of the Outlaws, and a genius at getting into trouble. In Still William, he faces his most terrifying adversary yet: Violet Elizabeth Bott, a lisping, pink-ribboned nightmare who follows him everywhere, demanding fairy games and kisses. She's wealthy, spoiled, and utterly relentless. When she decides William belongs to her, not even his beloved Outlaws can save him. Set in a sleepy English village where adults are perpetually bewildered and children run wild, this is childhood as it truly is: selfish, imaginative, chaotic, and occasionally glorious. William lies, cheats, and schemes his way through adventures that spiral magnificently out of control. He is not a good boy. But he is irresistibly alive. For readers who grew up with Just William, this is essential. For newcomers, prepare to meet one of children's literature's most perfectly drawn troublemakers.
