"William," said Barbara pleasantly, "I can dweam. Can you?"

He made no answer.

"Answer your cousin, William," said his mother.

He swallowed, then spoke plaintively, "You always say not to talk with my mouth full," he said.

"You could speak when you've finished the mouthful."

A most wonderful writer of stories for children and adults. Her use of the English language takes no prisoners in that she does not write down for the children's Market. At 60+ I still read them when I need cheering up or I listen to Martin jarvis's wonderful rendition. Thank heaven she never gave on the numbers of stories or the quality.
this is the best children's book I have come over.Totally enjoyable and fun to read . I personally recommend it to every one even the skeptical ones coz once you have begun you will not want to keep it down (or close the window in case of a E book).
this is a book that had me smiling and laughing from beginning to end.
Highest possible recommendation!
Hope to see more Richmal Crompton books in the future
