Description
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.
