Classic tales of Spider man Anansi

These are takes of the real spiderman,.Some say he comes from Africa and others say he comes from the West Indies But whenever you see him, beware, because there is no bigger trickster than Anansi who even tricked the Gods out of their stories for the Children of Earth!

Love the stories (I read them aloud to my daughter), but the writing is not so great. Still very happy to have some bedtime stories in my repertoire after finishing this!
