And now he feels inspired to save his sister from a life of crime. I always,' he added virtuously, 'try'n put back the things she's took.' It all started with a rare event: William Brown read a book. But the village girls' school is the last place where he's likely to be making mischief. William has a habit of being where he shouldn't be. That sounds more like Georgie Murdoch, who is so sickly sweet that William is determined to turn him into a wild, muddy, noisy outlaw like himself. Some words to not apply to William Brown. Unfortunately the only rich person they know is Violet's father, so William's latest plan to right the world's wrongs is sure to lead to catastrophe.

It was Ginger who showed him the book about Robin Hood, and it was Violet Elizabeth Bott's idea to steal from the rich and give to the poor.

The loveable imp and his band of Outlaws have been harassing his unfortunate family and delighting hundreds of thousands of readers for years.

Here William is keeping himself very busy indeed - mainly causing chaos! After all, Aunt Lucy did tell him that 'A Busy Day is a Happy Day'. But William won't let that stop him having fun with his gang - he'll just bring the baby along! The only problem is, William is meant to be babysitting.
