The Tortoise and the Hare: An Aesop's Fable

內容簡介

內容簡介 《龜兔賽跑》或許是伊索寓言裡頭最有名的故事之一了，想必每個人都曾經聽過。但在作家Angela McAllister迷人的文字和插畫家Jonathan Heale動人的插畫搭配之下，將賦予這個老故事新的生命。當兔子大肆吹噓自己跑得比風還快時，烏龜不禁對此嗤之以鼻，並向兔子提議，「何不來比賽看看？」雖然兔子聽了哈哈大笑，但還是接受了這個輕鬆的挑戰。當他們起跑時，兔子一下子就衝到巷子的盡頭，而烏龜只能慢慢地跨出第一步。顯然地，兔子擁有絕對的優勢，不過事情真的是如此嗎？這個傳頌許久的經典故事，這回又將帶給我們什麼樣的啟示呢？本書的作者是Angela McAllister，她在Middlesex College獲得人文學科的學位之後，便開始繪製插畫。目前她已出版超過30本童書，其中有些便是她自行繪製的。本書的繪者是Jonathan Heale，他曾在英國倫敦的皇家藝術學院學習字型學和美術，目前主要創作油畫和版畫。
