[Just William 30] • Guillermo Y El Animal Del Espacio

William and the Outlaws were going to start a newspaper - the Old Barn Times - when six-year-old Violet Elizabeth Bott came in and put an attache case on the floor.

"Yeth, William," she lisped, "I thtole it. I thtole it from a motor car. You can't have a newthpaper without thomeone thtealing thomething out of a motor car." William's face was blank with horror.

William had wanted a scoop: it looked as if he was going to get one.

Whether Willliam is finding a job - as a spy - for his sister Ethel, planning a Civil War ("When''ll we start?" said Douglas. "This afternoon," said William. "That's the best of a Civil War - you can start it straightaway without havin' to go out to foreign places to start it") or carrying out "sci'ntific" experiments, this is another gloriously funny collection of the adventures of William Brown.
