Synopsis

He is small. He is clever. And he is almost always one step ahead.

Almost. Anansi the Spider has been outwitting animals, people, and even gods for thousands of years. Born from the oral traditions of the Akan people of West Africa and carried across the Caribbean through generations of storytelling, these tales of the world's most celebrated trickster are retold here for a modern audience.

Clever as he is lazy, Anansi delights in proving his cunning against opponents far larger and stronger than himself. But even the cleverest spider occasionally outsmarts himself, and when his schemes backfire, the results are just as entertaining.
This collection brings together 16 stories, originally published as two separate volumes, in a single book:

  • Anansi and the Gum Doll
  • How Anansi Got to Ride Tiger
  • How Anansi Turned an Ear of Corn into One Hundred Goats
  • How Anansi Won the Stories of the Sky God
  • Why Spiders Stay on the Ceiling
  • Anansi and the Witch Named Five
  • Anansi and the Pot of Wisdom
  • Anansi and the Tommy (Thompson Gazelle)
  • How Anansi Missed Four Parties on One Night
  • Anansi Invites Turtle to Tea
  • Anansi, Fly and Ant Win the Sun
  • Anansi and the Talking Melon
  • Anansi and the Moss Covered Rock
  • Why Anansi Has Thin, Long Legs
  • Anansi and the Field of Corn
  • Anansi and the Tug of War

Each story can be read in approximately six minutes, making them ideal for a quiet reading moment, a bedtime story, or a classroom session. Perfect for adults and older children, these tales are also made to be shared aloud with younger readers.
