Anansi the Spider is one of the great folk heroes of the world. He is a rogue, a mischief maker, and a wise, lovable creature who triumphs over larger foes. In this traditional Ashanti tale, Anansi sets out on a long, difficult journey. Threatened by Fish and Falcon, he is saved from terrible fates by his sons. But which of his sons should Anansi reward? Calling upon Nyame, the God of All Things, Anansi solves his predicament in a touching and highly resourceful fashion. In adapting this popular folktale, Gerald McDermott merges the old with the new, combining bold, rich color with traditional African design motifs and authentic Ashanti language rhythms.
This is one of those Kindle Freetime Unlimited Audible books with pictures that is done very well. I enjoy the narrator as well as the images even if they are unique from the formatting and artwork that I normally enjoy. Gerald McDermott has a way with telling tales. I would be glad to have this on our shelf for future reading.
