BfK No. 125 - November 2000

Cover Story
The anarchic hero of many daring adventures, William, as depicted on our cover by Thomas Henry in one of his effective, humorous pen and ink illustrations, is now a period piece. A William de nos jours illustrated by Tony Ross and aimed at a younger audience stands alongside him. This new William will be featured in adaptations of the stories by Martin Jarvis. Richmal Crompton, author of the William books, is the subject of this issue's Authorgraph. Thanks to Macmillan Children’s Books for their help with this November cover.

The Historical Association, founded in 1906, is a charity which brings together people who share an interest in, and love for, history. It promotes the study, teaching and enjoyment of history at all levels. Members have access to lectures and events nationally and at over 60 local branches. They receive a copy of one of four journals, depending on their specific interests: Primary History , Teaching History (for secondary teachers), The Historian (general interest) or History (for academics). There is also a website, which is being constantly updated, offering history resources for parents and teachers, details of events and activities, and lots more useful information from the world of history. A monthly e-mail newsletter is also sent out to members with news, conferences and exhibitions, web reviews and conferences. Special promotions give readers a discount on selected books and on visits to museums and stately homes. Membership is open to everybody.
