The Apple and the Arrow by Mary and Conrad Buff*

Newbery Honor Book
Walter Tell is proud of his strong, confident father William Tell, who is a superb marksman.  His trust in his father is tested when Gessler, the tyrant ruler of their canton, challenges William to shoot an apple in  half. . .which is resting on his son's head.
In five chapters an exciting story unfolds and the reader learns how the country of Switzerland was born!
*Highly recommend.
-I own this book.
