Synopsis

There is only one William. This tousle-headed, snub-nosed, hearty, loveable imp of mischief has been harassing his unfortunate family and delighting his hundreds of thousands of admirers since 1922. When Aunt Lucy tells William that "a busy day is a happy day," William does his best to keep himself very busy indeed. Unfortunately, not everyone appreciates his efforts to cheer up Christmas Day—and when a conjuring trick with an egg goes very badly wrong, William finds himself in more trouble than ever! Now with a brand-new cover look, these 14 fantastic Just William stories are as funny as ever.
