This is one of four spiral-bound 24-page booklets from a series of 8 for which I am guessing a year of publication of about 1950.  In the first half, left-hand pages feature monochrome illustrations; on the right are full-page illustrations.  The second half reverses the pattern.  The tortoise here, at the end and on the title-page, holds a victory cup while he shakes hands with the hare.  The hare has had a thermos bottle with him during the race.  Our collection has several our of a set of eighteen pamphlets from the same publisher, listed there as Agkyra, apparently published in 1975 and reprinted in 1979.  Texts may be the same, but the art appears to be different, though perhaps by the same artist.  Is the title-page here quoting the Gospel about the proud being humbled?
