William Tell Told Again Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tell_Told_Again Produced by Branko Collin, Suzanne L. Shell, Charles Franks David Widger and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team, and the Oxford College Library of Emory University "William Tell Told Again" by P. G. Wodehouse is a humorous retelling of the legendary Swiss hero William Tell, written in the early 20th century. The book combines elements of children's literature and comedy, offering both a picture book format with illustrations and a humorous novel intermingled with verse. Its core theme revolves around the rebellion of the Swiss people against their tyrannical ruler, Governor Gessler, with Tell emerging as their notable champion and sharpshooter. The story follows William Tell as he navigates a series of challenges posed by the oppressive Governor Gessler. The governor imposes excessive taxes and enforces humiliating laws, including a bizarre demand that citizens must bow before a hat mounted on a pole. When Tell defiantly refuses to comply, he finds himself in perilous situations, leading to a dramatic moment where he is forced to shoot an apple off his son's head as a display of his archery skills. After successfully completing this daunting task, Tell becomes a symbol of resistance, ultimately resulting in the governor's demise and the subsequent liberation of the Swiss people. Wodehouse infuses the tale with wit and lightheartedness, making it an engaging read for both children and adults. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 83.2 (6th grade).
