William Tell Told Again by P. G. Wodehouse

A humorous, illustrated retelling of the William Tell legend—complete with verse, wit, and Wodehouse’s early comic style.

• Comedic spin: A playful parody of classic legends, full of pompous phrasing and mixed metaphors (“courage of a lion… agility of a squirrel…”)

• Unique format: Combines prose, illustrated verse captions, and 15 color plates by Philip Dadd

• Illustrations & verse: John W. Houghton’s poetic verses accompany each illustration, plus prologue and epilogue in rhyme

• Early Wodehouse: Shows his budding humor style—satirical tone and whimsical lists typical of his later celebrated works
