She was educated at St. Elphin's School and studied Classics at Royal Holloway College before becoming a schoolmistress. However, her teaching career was cut short by an attack of polio in 1923, which confined her to a wheelchair. She became a full-time author, and wrote over 40 books for adults, but she is best known for her hugely popular \u003ci\u003eJust William\u003c\/i\u003e books.   William first appeared in 1919 in a short story for \u003ci\u003eHome Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e. The first collection featuring him was published in 1922, and he went on to star in 38 further books (the final one, \u003ci\u003eWilliam the Lawless\u003c\/i\u003e, was published posthumously in 1970). They have sold over 12 million copies in the UK alone, been translated into nine languages and remain enduringly popular today.","brand":"BBC Audio, A Division Of Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48735387582807,"sku":"9780563478218","price":12.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/just-william-9780563478218","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
