A witty, beautifully illustrated take on The Hare and the Tortoise - this book is bound to become a treasured classic.
Hare is the fastest on the farm.
Tortoise is as slow as they go.
So when they decide to have a race, Hare is certain to win . . . isn't he?
The best-loved of all Aesop's Fables has been made all the more enchanting with Alison Murray's sense of fun, mischief and stylish charm.
