E-text prepared by David Clarke, Geetu Melwani, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "More William" by Richmal Crompton is a humorous children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the mischievous and adventurous character of William Brown, a young boy known for his reckless antics and childlike wisdom. Throughout the book, readers are taken on a whimsical journey filled with William's escapades, showcasing his interactions with family, friends, and authority figures, often leading to chaotic yet entertaining situations. The opening of "More William" introduces William on Christmas Day, eagerly anticipating the festivities, though he harbors mixed feelings about family gatherings that come with it. As he starts his day, he attempts to bring joy to the occasion by giving presents to his family, despite knowing they are unlikely to appreciate his choices. This sets the tone for the story as comedic mishaps unfold, such as a battle with snail trails in the hall that ends up flooding the area. William's innocence, loud personality, and desire to help, despite the ensuing chaos, provide a humorous insight into childhood adventures and the misunderstandings that arise from his well-meaning but misguided intentions.
