Richmal Crompton created William, the pugnacious anti-hero of
thirty books selling over 8 million copies in her lifetime; but
their author once hinted that a 'Frankenstein monster' had ambushed
her forty novels for adults. Persephone Books publishes a 1948
novel about the life of two families during the inter-war years.
Instead of seeing William at odds with adults, we are shown the
matriarchs around whom their families spin; but whether they direct
their children gently or forcefully, in the end they have to accept
them as they are.We see that families can both entrap and sustain;
that parents and children must respect each other; and that
happiness necessitates jumping or being pushed off the family
roundabout.
