Robert has very strong reasons for wanting William to be kept away from a particular fancy dress party. This is the eleventh book about the irrepressible Just William.

William Brown is naturally suspicious of grown-ups bearing gifts. They always want him to do something, like run silly errands. It's bribery, pure and simple, and William is not a boy to be bribed. Unless it involves money, food, a pet or a precious heirloom in which case William will do anything.

A new cover edition of a title featuring the character Just William, with black and white line illustrations by Thomas Henry.

William is the sweetest boy in the world and sadly misunderstood by grown-ups. He firmly believes that school should be abolished because it's a form of slavery and that children, not old people, should receive pensions.

William Brown has an outgoing nature. That's what his mother calls it, anyway. He's not exactly shy and retiring, and when it occurs to him that showing off can be combined with his other great love, making money, it's typical William territory.

William knows his place in the world. As a natural leader, where he goes others follow, even if that means only Ginger and Henry. The problem is that where he leads them usually ends up a disaster.

Excellent Book

"Well, dear," said William's mother. " Have you had a nice afternoon? What have you been doing?" "Me?" said Willliam vaguely. "Oh, nothing much. I caught that spy you were all talkin' about, an' I was arrested for stealing silver an'..." That morning William had thought the war was rather dull. No one seemed to want his help - he had written to the Prime Minister offering to be a spy, he had tried to join the Army - so he decided he would make up his own mind on the best way to defeat Hitler. William's scheme resulted in a particularly hectic afternoon, both for himslef and the local police.

"I bet I manage it all right," said William. "I've never tried reconcilin' anyone, but I bet it's easy enough once you start."

The trouble is, William Brown is not known for his tact and diplomacy! When William tries to reconcile two quarrelsome neighbours, they prove strangely immune to all his efforts. And with Violet Elizabeth, William's own arch enemy, lending a hand, the road to peace seems very rocky indeed.

"Yeth, William," she lisped, "I thtole it. I thtole it from a motor car. You can't have a newthpaper without thomeone thtealing thomething out of a motor car." William's face was blank with horror.

About this book: "What's Wrong with Civilizashun" was written by Richmal Crompton, with a foreword from Mary Cadogan and first published as a whole collection in book form in 1990 by Macmillan Children's Books, 96pp, ISBN 0333526562. 'People go on an' on tryin' to find out what's wrong with civilizashun an' what they never seem to see is that civilizashun's all wrong anyway an' that nothing will ever be right till we all go back to bein' savages.' So says William Brown, the famous 'Just William' created by Richmal Crompton and hero of the thirty-eight William books she wrote over a forty-year period - the first in 1922. Generations of children-and adults-have read with delighted enjoyment the stories of William and the Outlaws, and their attempts to educate an uncomprehending adult world to an understanding of the straightforward logic of William and his friends. In this collection of articles 'by William', we have his forthright views on education ('at present it is all wrong. You've only got to look at the grown-ups round you to see that'), holidays ('there's far too few of them'), Latin ('I don't wonder the Latin people have all died off, having to speak a language like that'), careers ('pirates are a noble and glorious career') and, of course, civilisashun. The first and only publication of these articles was in magazines in the 1920s and 1930s. Now re-published in book form, today's readers can enjoy the views of one of our youngest, and most practical, philosophers
