William - The Fourth by Richmal Crompton audiobook.

Genre: comedy

In William - The Fourth, Richmal Crompton returns to the riotous world of eleven-year-old William Brown, self-appointed leader of the Outlaws and constant thorn in the side of respectable village life. William means well, in his own way, but his fierce sense of justice and unstoppable imagination turn every ordinary afternoon into a campaign. After overhearing grown-up talk about politics and equality, William decides it is time for action - and the Outlaws are drafted into a new movement that no one else quite understands. From schoolroom rivalries and would-be entrepreneurial schemes to misadventures involving photography, fairs, costumes, and mistaken identities, William charges ahead with complete confidence, dragging friends, enemies, and bewildered adults along behind him. At home, his long-suffering parents and siblings brace for the latest disaster, while the formidable Great-Aunt Jane proves one of the few people capable of meeting William on his own ground. Warm, sharp, and relentlessly funny, this collection captures the serious intensity of childhood plans and the comic fallout when they collide with the adult world.
