Book description
William is always in trouble but sometimes it really isn't his fault.
It was Ginger who showed him the book about Robin Hood, and it was
Violet Elizabeth Bott's idea to steal from the rich and give to the
poor. Unfortunately the only rich person they know is Violet's father,
so William's latest plan to right the world's wrongs is sure to lead to
catastrophe . . .
Richmal Crompton was born in Lancashire 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.
