Life was peaceful and idyllic in 1291 in the Swiss canton of Uri---at least until the day William Tell refused to salute the Austrian tyrant Gessler. This Newbery Honor Medal winner tells the legendary tale of a father's bravery, a son's faith, and Switzerland's fight for freedom. Ages 9 to 12. 80 pages, hardcover from Houghton Mifflin.
