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.

Richmal Crompton Lamburn was initially trained as a schoolmistress but later became a popular English writer, best known for her Just William series of books, humorous short stories, and to a lesser extent adult fiction books. Crompton's fiction centres around family and social life, dwelling on the constraints that they place on individuals while also nurturing them. This is best seen in her depiction of children as puzzled onlookers of society's ways. Nevertheless, the children, particularly William and his Outlaws, almost always emerge triumphant.
