I've been on a bit of a William Tell spree recently, after reading and greatly enjoying Margaret Early's picture-book retelling, but this Bawden/Allamand version is the first I have read that is produced (or partly produced) by a Swiss creator. I was very interested to pick it up, for that reason. That said, although Allamand's illustrations were colorful and cute, in a somewhat cartoonish way, they did not speak to me, and I found that I much preferred Early's rather flat, medieval style artwork, or even the rather dark but expressive paintings of Leonard Everett Fisher, in his telling. On the other hand, I did like that Bawden included some of the historical details of the William Tell story, including the fact that in his time there were three smaller nations - Schwytz, Uri and Unterwald - that eventually united and rebelled against the Austrians. Although not my favorite - an honor that belongs to the Margaret Early telling, thus far - this was still an enjoyable version, and is one I would recommend, both to young folklore lovers in general, and to picture-book readers interested in William Tell in particular.
