Review By Trillianne - I will confess that up until a month ago I had never heard of Just William despite always having been an avid reader but I came across the first series in a charity shop, read the back and thought it would be good for in the car.
Like another reviewer I agree there is nothing better that actually reading to your child but there are times when this is just not possible, our daily commute for example and having a child who, despite his few years has a great love of stories this is a nightmare for him (and I don't like books being thrown at me while I'm driving).
History over with, the Just William stories are wonderful, not too long but splendidly writen, Martin reads them fantastically and portrays each character well. Despite the era in which these stories are based having long gone, the sense of adventure will never fade or diminish and has the family, both old and young in fits of laughter with Williams cheeky exploits.
Will I get more of the series? Definately!
Do I sit and secretly listen to these alone in the car? Yes, I admit, I'm hooked LOL (Posted on 5 April 2013)

Review By June - This is the second collection of Just William read by the fantastic Martin Jarvis. Again Mr Jarvis does all the voices to perfection and you will find yourself laughing out loud whatever your age.
This particular selection contains my all time favourite William story " The Outlaws and the Triplets" and one that you too will enjoy.
Another one for the whole family to enjoy but just as good as a solitary listen ,maybe on the journey home after a tiresome day at work. (Posted on 9 February 2013)

Review By FionaL - Audiobooks shouldn't replace reading to your child but if, like me, you have children with an insatiable appetite for stories they do free up your time and save your voice from being reduced to a hoarse croak. My children and I can listen to William for hours on end. The timeless stories of tangled childhood adventures never stale. I love the way William's natural straight-forwadness shows up the foibles, vanities and eccentricities of the adults around him. You do feel that children are the only sane people in a crazy world. Occasionally there is a good sport who enjoys William's exploits, like the dying aunt who is restored to health by her eager enjoyment of William's adventures.
I've never been a Martin Jarvis fan but he reads the stories perfectly, doing just the right voice for everyone including his hilarious rendition of the lisping 6 year-old Violet Elizabeth. We have 3 of the William audiobooks but we won't stop until we have all of them. It really doesn't matter what order you listen to the books in. All of the stories stand alone, they are all equally entertaining and nobody ever ages although times do change and William takes things like World War 2 in his stride just as much as television.
You don't even need children to listen to William. What could be better than lazing in a hammock by a pool, sipping a cocktail and chuckling along with Williams' anarchic adventures on your ipod? Sounds like paradise to me. (Posted on 27 January 2013)
