Slow and steady was a cover story. The hare didn't fall asleep. He lay down.
Jack Harrowby is the fastest creature in Meadowmere. Gideon is a tortoise, one hundred and eighty-seven years old. When Jack mocks him at the Harvest Fair, the old Keeper answers with a challenge: race me. The whole city laughs.
Then a stoat in a brown coat takes Jack's little brother, and gives Jack one order: lose.
But each runner carries a sealed copy of a peace treaty with the wolves. One copy is true. The other will start a war. And high above the race, a hawk is waiting.
This is the famous fable, told the way it really happened: a story of spies, secret letters, a fox who thinks in numbers, and one inch of ground. It's written in simple, clear English, so it's easy to read for anyone, at any age.
Everyone knows how the race ends. Nobody knows it was won by an inch.
Want the whole story, with every secret and side plot? Read the full novel, The Herald's Trial: The Untold Story of the Tortoise and the Hare.
