This is the only full length Wiliam Book, and is based on Val Guest's screen play for the 1947 Film. Shedload Theatre [2] produced a stage adaptation of Just William's Luck that debuted in 2017 at The Edinburgh Festival Fringe in The Iron Belly Underbelly, Cowgate.

I think William works best as short vignettes and the longer story felt like a mishmash of those and didn't quite hold together. Just William's Luck is a 1947 British comedy film directed by Val Guest and starring William Graham, Garry Marsh and Jane Welsh.As I've already mentioned I throughly enjoyed this rather different look into the world of that loveable scamp William Brown and his band of Outlaws. Unlike the other William books, this one describes a whole day in William's life, and gives us, as well, a deep and sympathetic look at William's long suffering family.

William Brown and the Outlaws decide to start righting wrongs and organise the Knights of the Square Table (or Gnites of the Square Tabel). I knew that starting the job would have an impact on Just William's Luck - the most immediate of which is that I haven't been able to find the time to record a post!

There follows a madcap chase finale involving William's gang, the cops and the fur thieves, but lacking identifiable locations.

This novel might appear to be ice-cold on the exterior but it manages to include an ending of such warmth that I couldn’t help but look back on what I had just read and think about the human heart that was beating throughout. I wouldn’t want to give too much plot away – this is a novel of ideas rather than plot anyway – but Jeffrey is a character far more interested in living the life he has been allotted rather than one that might be gifted now or promised for the future. Underworld may consistently appear on those lists of great American novels but it’s as bloated as some of those other greats meaning it sits unfinished on many a bookshelf and, personally, I’ve always felt that the opening section describing ‘the shot heard around the world’ is by far the best part of the book.

Martin Jarvis's recording of Richmal Crompton's Just William stories are works of genius' - Independent. It had quite a different tone to it from the short story collections, almost to the point of feeling like a Famous Five novel in places. This collection of stories follows the adventures of that irrepressible and ageless schoolboy William Brown.H/b; no d/w; Vg; 8vo; 264pp; name on fep, Green boards, 1st Edition; Just William; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 264 pages.
