William Tell Told Again

by P. G. Wodehouse

This book is a humorous retelling of the classic Swiss folk tale of William Tell, the legendary crossbowman who shot an apple off his son's head. English humorist P.G. Wodehouse brings his signature wit and wordplay to the story, poking fun at the characters and events while still capturing the essence of the original legend. The book also includes a humorous poem by John W. Houghton that encapsulates the Tell legend. The poem is read as a single piece in the audiobook version of the book.
