Who's this young rascal?
Harry Potter may well be the children's favourite of the early 21st century, but the first half of the 20th century hailed some of the finest children's story writers, who have never been bettered. Richmal Crompton's "William" began in the early 1920's as a magazine strip for grown-ups. In 1923 the first William book was published and Ms Crompton continued the series until the early 1960's. Nowadays, William has been hacked, re-packed and "politically corrected" into collections of adventures more designed for the changing tastes of modern kids. But if you want to absorb the real flavour of these brilliantly crafted, sharp-witted classics, then Looking-Glass highly recommends that you buy the box set of the first ten books - which are in chronological order and with facsimiles of their original covers. All the William books from 1 to 37 are listed here below.
William and the Time Machine!
You'll find that reading William books chronologically is really quite fascinating - as the "boy who never grows up" he finds himself in a scrapes and adventures dating from the early 1920's right up to the 1960's!
Unfortunately, Amazon UK (or USA) doesn't stock the complete series at the moment because many William books are out-of-print. But Looking-Glass have compiled a list of as many William books and audio cassettes as we can for your easy browsing through Amazon UK. Check each link for availability - new or used at Amazon. If you have no joy through the Amazon links please try the Richmal Crompton Search at Abebooks who carry rare and out-of-print William books. Before you know it, you'll be a member of the Outlaws Club!

Has anyone anywhere any advice on where to buy new or 2nd hand copies of the Kenneth Williams readings of the William stories - infinitely better than Martin Jarvis' versions.

I have a board game called the Just William Game, produced in 1976 by Palitoy Bradgate division in connection with the TV series. It is complete except for the 20 'Excuse' cards. If anyone has this game, could they photocopy or scan the cards for me, as it looks like a fun game and we would like to be able to play it.

Posted 18-3-03 ... From the Looking-Glass Editor of this Just William page

Looking-Glass has received a number of enquiries about the Outlaws Club... i.e.. Does it still exist? Where can information be found about it? etc.
There is indeed confusion about this.
If anyone has up to date information about the Outlaws Club please contact us.
In the meantime, after checking out various resources that might solve the mystery, Looking-Glass would initially recommend getting in touch directly with the William publishers, Macmillan Books, as follows:

Here’s a general phone number and e-mail for Macmillan:
Tel: +44 (0)1256 329242
Fax: +44 (0)1256 328339
E-mail: mdl@macmillan.co.uk

Here is the Outlaws Club address from the inside cover of a William Book reprinted in 1990 (If you write to this address it may well automatically get redirected to the appropriate dept. at Macmillans):
The Outlaws Club
Children’s Marketing Dept.
Macmillan Children’s Books
18 –21 Cavaye Place
London
SW10 9PG

As mentioned before, if anyone has any more up-to-date info on this please get in touch.

Please go to the contact page and follow the instructions.

To all concerned, I hope this helps!
