William - The Detective by Richmal Crompton
William - The Detective is 17th book in the Just William series written by Richmal Crompton. This one sees William getting involved in detective work.
This edition includes the chapteres that have removed in more modern editions. Modern editions contain ten stories; it originally contained eleven: In a (for the series) rare example of moral panic, the eleventh, entitled "William and the Nasties" has been removed from reprints of the book since 1986 because, though ultimately anti-Nazi, it was considered inappropriate after the atrocities of the Holocaust, especially for a book aimed at children. William and the League of Perfect Love has also been removed from some editions under pressure from the animal-rights activists it satirises
Binding: Hard cover with dust jacket
