(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Richmal Crompton Lamburn (November 15 1890 - January 11 1969) was a British writer, most famous for her Just William short stories.

Apart from William...

Crompton tried several times to reformulate William for other audiences. Jimmy (1949) was aimed at younger children, and Enter - Patricia (1927) at girls. Crompton wrote two more Jimmy books, but no more Patricia, as neither was successful as William.
