"William Tell Told Again" by P. G. Wodehouse is an amusing story that shows the well-known legend of William Tell in a fun, fresh way. This combination of children's book and funny story, complete with pictures and playful poems, tells the story of the Swiss people fighting back against their mean leader, Governor Gessler, with Tell leading the charge. The story highlights William Tell going through the tricky situations set by Governor Gessler, from unfair taxes to silly rules like bowing to a hat on a stick. Because Tell refuses to bow, he later has to shoot an apple off his son's head for a big crowd as a way to show off how great of a marksman he is. After pulling this off, he stirs up a fire of resistance within the Swiss people to ultimately bring down the governor and win their freedom. Wodehouse fills the story with humor, making it an enjoyable read for people of all ages.
