O ovoj e-knjizi
"Just William" is the first book of children's short stories about the young school boy William Brown, written by Richmal Crompton, and published in 1922. The book was the first in the series of William Brown books which was the basis for numerous television series, films and radio adaptations. Just William is also sometimes used as a title for the series of books as a whole, and is also the name of various television, film and radio adaptations of the books. William Brown is an eleven-year-old boy, eternally scruffy and frowning. William and his friends, Ginger, Henry and Douglas, call themselves the Outlaws, and meet at the old barn in Farmer Jenks' field, with William being the leader of the gang. The Outlaws are sworn enemies of the Hubert Laneites, with whom they frequently clash. (Excerpt from Wikipedia)
O autoru
Richmal Crompton, born Richmal Crompton Lamburn on November 15, 1890, in Bury, Lancashire, was an English writer whose work transcended the boundaries of children's literature to leave an indelible mark on 20th-century British culture. Educated at Royal Holloway College, London, she initially pursued a career in teaching, which she continued even after her literary career began to flourish.Crompton's writing is characterized by its sharp wit, keen social observation, and an ability to capture the essence of British middle-class life. Her stories often explore themes of social hierarchy, the innocence of youth, and the complexities of adult-child relationships, making her work resonate with readers of all ages. Despite facing significant challenges, including a bout with polio that left her partially disabled, Crompton's prolific output never waned. She wrote over 40 novels for adults, showcasing her versatility and depth as a writer. Her adult fiction, often overshadowed by her more famous works, delves into the intricacies of human nature and societal norms, offering a rich tapestry of post-war British life.Crompton's influence extends beyond her literary achievements. She was a trailblazer for female writers in a male-dominated industry, and her success helped pave the way for future generations of women authors. Her ability to infuse humor with poignant social commentary has inspired contemporary writers like J.K. Rowling and Jacqueline Wilson.Controversially, Crompton's work has been scrutinized for its portrayal of class and gender roles, reflecting the societal attitudes of her time. However, modern readers continue to find value in her nuanced characters and timeless storytelling, ensuring her legacy endures in the annals of British literature.
