At least I enjoyed it more than the previous ones, although the themes are of course similar. However, the confusion and chaos caused by William and his friends, sometimes unwittingly and sometimes on purpose, was particularly funny here. William, of course, is a force of nature, always impervious to any attempt to civilize him and make him conform. He is not bad, he just follows his own logic and ethics, which make perfect sense to him but are incomprehensible for his long-suffering family and other adults. ( ) I read the William books as a child, and despite being an obnoxiously well behaved child, I still wanted to think of myself as an "Outlaw". I would recommend them to anyone of such an age. I think they are genuinely improving. Certainly my memory of William, as of the Swallows and Amazons, provides a well buried counter to my natural inclination towards the effete. William also provides a good lesson in free will, independent spirit and free thought. Which cannot hurt. (Unless you wanted to make an extreme reading of the William stories as a prop to the capitalist establishment...) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Just William (7)
Watch out William's about! Some words to not apply to William Brown: sweet, charming, 'dear little boy' . . . That sounds more like Georgie Murdoch, who is so sickly sweet that William is determined to turn him into a wild, muddy, noisy outlaw like himself . . . In Richmal Crompton's William the Outlaw, William Brown is back in a collection of ten Just William stories with an introduction by Horrid Henry author Francesca Simon, appealing contemporary cover art by Sara Ogilvie, along with the original inside illustrations by Thomas Henry. There is only one William. This tousle-headed, snub-nosed, hearty, lovable imp of mischief has been harassing his unfortunate family and delighting his hundreds of thousands of admirers since 1922. Enjoy more of William's adventures in William the Good and William the Bad. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
