«The Hare and the Tortoise» is Aesop's classic fable, published by Siena in paperback (32 pages, in English).
The swift hare is so sure of winning the race against the tortoise that she dawdles and stops to rest, while the tortoise advances slowly but steadily. The fable, told with simple text and colourful illustrations, shows how perseverance and effort can overcome arrogance.
This title belongs to the Sleepytime Tales series, a collection of classic stories for early readers; it was published in 1996.
For very young children starting out with classic tales, especially as bedtime reading.
Aesop was a Greek fabulist and storyteller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. Although his existence remains unclear and no writings by him survive, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day. Many of the tales associated with him are characterized by anthropomorphic animal characters.
