	Persephone Books - Richmal Crompton - Family Roundabout (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Richmal Crompton is less well known for her novels for adults, being more famous for being the author of the William books: the creator of the lively, cheeky, pugnacious, yet oddly wise anti-hero of 345 short stories for children collected into thirty books written between 1922 and 1964.
		A favourite theme of Richmal Crompton's is how families can entrap as well as sustain; another is adult refusal to treat children as people, to talk to them as equals, and the child's consequent inability to see grown-ups as anything but ciphers preoccupied only with cleanliness, social status and regular meals.
		The fabric used for Richmal Crompton's Family Roundabout is an example of the 'peasant-art' style, popular in the 1940s, and of the revival of figurative woven fabric.
