William is inspired to lead a better life, but decides not to start just yet! William's Christmas Eve:
William and Joan deliver a Christmas feast to a poor family. Richmal Crompton (1890-1969) was initially trained as a schoolmistress but later became a popular English writer, best known for her "Just William" series of books.
