| Summary | "William – The Fourth" by Richmal Crompton is a children’s novel written in the early 20th century. This book is part of the beloved "Just William" series that follows the mischievous adventures of an irrepressible young boy named William Brown. Throughout the story, readers can expect a delightful exploration of William's antics, friendships, and his attempts to navigate the world with his uniquely carefree and sometimes chaotic perspective. The opening of the book introduces William's perspective on human nature and the concept of equality, sparked by a misguided meeting he stumbles into. During a gathering of slightly older boys discussing socialism, William becomes convinced of the need for equality and decides to form his own unique "Junior Branch" of the Bolshevist Society, ultimately resulting in chaotic yet humorously insightful encounters with his peers. His declaration of the need for "Action!" quickly escalates into a misguided attempt to confront issues of wealth and societal structure in the typical whimsical style that characterizes Crompton's work. William's interactions reveal his straightforward and naive interpretation of complex social ideas, setting the stage for the mischief and misunderstandings that follow in his adventures.
