William The Outlaw (Just William #7)

Description

Some words to not apply to William Brown: sweet, charming, 'dear little boy' ...That sounds more like Georgie Murdoch, who is so sickly sweet that William is determined to turn him into a wild, muddy, noisy outlaw like himself ...In William the Outlaw everyone's favourite trouble-maker, William Brown, is back in a collection of 14 Just William stories - now with a brand-new cover look illustrated by Sara Ogilvie. 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. Now with a fantastic new cover look.
