Richmal Crompton

    15 november 1890 – 11 januari 1969

    Richmal Crompton, oorspronkelijk opgeleid als onderwijzeres, werd een gevierde Engelse schrijfster, beroemd om haar Just William-reeks. Haar fictie duikt in het familie- en sociale leven en onderzoekt de beperkingen die deze omgevingen opleggen en tegelijkertijd individuen koesteren. Crompton portretteert kinderen meesterlijk als nieuwsgierige waarnemers van maatschappelijke normen, waarbij haar jonge protagonisten, met name William en zijn bende, onvermijdelijk als overwinnaars tevoorschijn komen.
