Jimmy Manning has wonderful ideas for ensuring the happiness of his friends, neighbours and family. But life often presents our hero with comic surprise - sometimes in the person of Araminta Palmer who adores him! Jimmy could almost be younger brother to the celebrated Just William. This is not surprising, as these delightful adventures are written by William's creator Richmal Crompton. Martin Jarvis, whose readings of Just William have become best-sellers, now brings "Jimmy" brilliantly to life in these five warm-hearted stories.
