A rollicking adventure in the vast catalogue of mischievous japes that chronicles the life of irrepressible and ageless schoolboy William Brown. The scruffy, mud-stained and mischievous boy is a loveable rogue whose heart is usually(!) in the right place and whose pranks usually end in disaster. An ill-advised joke is the basis for this funny tale involving a Christmas cracker novelty.
