October 2011 Guest Editor Roddy Doyle. A rough boy in a posh house – it’s a great combination. This book is both quietly and out-loud funny. William’s adventures are very funny, but his philosophy and outlook are hilarious and consistently direct; the adult world just can’t budge him. I loved William when I was a boy, and think I might like him even more today. All the world’s leaders should read JUST WILLIAM – quick!
