Ho Lagos kai he Chelona

Abstract

This is one of three 16-page large-format pamphlets in a series. The series is typified by blank cover backgrounds featuring Aisopou Mythoi at the top, identical monochrome inside-covers of an ass reading Aesop's fables to other animals, and a last page giving a moral under a repeat of the fable's title at its top. Bibliographical information is sparse, and I can find no indication how many books might be in the series. This volume's version of TH features a hare marked by two prominent front teeth. By contrast with most versions of TH, this approach includes no other animals, for example, at the start of the race. Only one bird witnesses the race's finish, which seems to happen very close to the place where the rabbit fell asleep.
