In all books, William Brown remains aged 11 years, despite the action of each book being set in the era in which it was written.

William Brown
He is one of the strongest and most vividly drawn characters in all fiction.
She was a private person not overly well known.
He stands comparison with Mr. Micawber, Long John Silver, Falstaff, Sherlock Holmes and Tom Sawyer – in fact, he is more rounded a character than any of them.
She stands comparison with Maupassant, Somerset Maugham, O’ Henry and Mark Twain --- and, although her range may not be as broad, she is funnier than any of them.
