Richmal Crompton's William is known to those who have never even read the books featuring his anarchic exploits. His name has become a synonym for scruffy, adventurous and exuberant boyhood, but little is known of his creator, who always shunned the limelight. This book provides a biographical picture of a witty and talented writer and a celebration of her works. The book features photographs of Crompton and her family as well as Thomas Henry's original illustrations of William and "The Outlaws".
