Just William by Richmal Crompton

3.0

Read for the Children's book challenge. I'd forgotten how episodic it was (I think the stories were originally published separately then collected together) and found there was very little continuity - e.g. it seemed particularly odd for the final chapter to describe how William obtained his dog, who he'd been playing with throughout the book. Fast, fun read, but don't feel particularly as though there's much to be gained from re-reading others in the series as an adult - they don't seem to stand up to a critical examination.
