Afternoon Play: The Just William Lady

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Tony Coult's drama about Richmal Crompton, the author of the William stories, is based on Alison Neil's play.
December 1968, a few weeks before Richmal's death. While driving in fog, she nearly hits a child. He appears to be William, her fictional creation, yet he is flesh and blood. Whoever he is, he knows all her stories and has many questions for her.
