Wendy Laharnar sends her protagonist Stefan Gessler, a modern day Swiss youth, seven-hundred years back in time to prevent Wilhelm tell from murdering his far remote ancestor, Herman Gessler, the tyrant who asked his underlings to bow before his hat on a pole. Now, why would anyone want to prevent a freedom fighter from killing a ruthless tyrant? Read and find out. Watch the two stubborn men collide full force. Then enjoy the schemes of the next generation Tells and Gesslers trying to prevent first Gessler's offense then Tell's revenge.Beautifully written, funny, magical and full of suspense, The Unhewn Stone is a real treat.
