Description:

“William Tell Told Again” is a Pelham Grenville Wodehouse’s variation of a story of Tell. Being one of the earliest works of this prolific English author it is a simple tale of good triumphing over evil. The author takes some liberties with the legend itself, and certainly turns it into a humorous light-hearted children’s story.
An enjoyable reading for old and young; for Wodehouse’s admirers and for those who are still on the threshold of the brilliant humorous and charming world of his books.
