Richmal Crompton, ursprünglich als Lehrerin ausgebildet, wurde eine gefeierte englische Schriftstellerin, die vor allem für ihre „Just William“-Reihe bekannt ist. Ihre Fiktion befasst sich mit dem Familien- und Gesellschaftsleben und untersucht die Einschränkungen, die diese Umgebungen auferlegen, während sie gleichzeitig den Einzelnen fördern. Crompton stellt Kinder meisterhaft als neugierige Beobachter gesellschaftlicher Normen dar, wobei ihre jungen Protagonisten, insbesondere William und seine Bande, unweigerlich als Sieger hervorgehen.
