5.0 out of 5 stars I am Suprised . . ., November 2, 2000

By 

Victoria (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Just - William (Lythway Large Print Books) (Hardcover)

I am suprised that North America has missed such a classic. Even if it is very English, obviously India can appreciate it, so why not North America. I am fouteen and have been living in Canada for four years now, and have been reading my William books since I was much, much smaller. They are hilarious! Maybe if we write enough of these wistful reviews, someone will read thses books and decide to publish them in North America, too! (Hint)

5.0 out of 5 stars Is it over?, October 2, 2000

This review is from: Just - William (Lythway Large Print Books) (Hardcover)

Is good literature for children over? Do we have to conform ourselves with horrible pictures of violent and perverted cartoons? I am definitely not a moralist, but I grew up in a world where you could read Guillermo (William) and find good, interesting adventures by a bunch of outlaw kids, doing innocent but funny things in England, and feel identified with them ,even if you were a Mexican kid from the Northern desert, That is what I call universal identification. I hope these books will be available again soon, because the are very good. And Very funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic writing for children and adults, October 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Just - William (Lythway Large Print Books) (Hardcover)

My parents both read the William Stories and passed on their collections - mostly first or second edition Newnes in the cheaper red boards. I have been reading them for 30 years and never tire of their wit and charm. If you need your spirits lifted then "William and the Triplets" from William the Pirate cannot be beaten for sublime humour. My only regret is that I cannot find a copy of William the Lawless - a book that has become my holy grail!
