More Information
Richmal Crompton was born on 15th November 1890 in Bury
Lancashire the daughter of a clergyman. she went to boarding school before
university where a gained a degree in classics before becoming a teacher in a
girls school. She is of course best known for her William books which have
somewhat overshadowed her other work, indeed I believe non are in print today.
The books were light and gentle and met with both public and critical approval.
Today they are mainly sought after by William enthusiasts and whilst they may
not be regarded as classic literature they are well written and deserving of
greater attention and recognition. Richmal Crompton passed away in 1969. Early
titles in jacket are difficult to locate and are genuinely rare books.
