The race is on - the fast running hare against the tortoise, who moves very slowly and carries his house on his back. In a flash the hare is away, flying over the grass. But the tortoise has hardly moved. Who do you think will win?

Review:
`With the Fables of La Fontaine, Wildsmith turned Wordsmith, retelling the tales with a simplicity that enhances the complexity of the illustrations. In The Hare and the Tortoise, the animals are seen against dazzling, semi-abstract backgrounds, with pinks and purples dotted with shimmering,
close-toned blobs of viridian green and cerulean blue that dance before your eyes.
'
Joanne Carey, The Guardian
