William Tell Told Again by P. G. Wodehouse
QR code
"William Tell Told Again" by P. G. Wodehouse is a retelling published in 1904. This illustrated prose and verse adaptation transforms the legendary Swiss hero's tale into comic entertainment. When the tyrannical Governor Gessler forces citizens to bow before his hat on a pole, master archer William Tell defies him—triggering the famous apple-shooting challenge. Wodehouse parodies traditional children's retellings with deliberately pompous language and comic distortions, while maintaining the story's essential outline
of rebellion against Austrian rule. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
