Description
In this richly told Ashanti-inspired folktale, Anansi the Spider uses wit, cunning, and daring to navigate a world where stories—and the power they carry—can be won, traded, or lost. As Anansi sets out on a quest that tests his ingenuity, he encounters forces that challenge his plans and reveal what it truly means to outsmart fate. Woven through the adventure are themes of trickster intelligence, the value of storytelling, and the moral complexity of ambition. Gerald McDermott’s distinctive, lyrical retelling brings the rhythms of oral tradition to life with vivid imagery and a sense of wonder that feels both timeless and immediate.
