Description

Anansi the Spider is likely one of the great folk heroes of the sector. He’s a rogue, a mischief maker, and a sensible, lovable creature who triumphs over larger foes.

In this traditional Ashanti tale, Anansi sets out on an extended, difficult journey. Threatened by Fish and Falcon, He’s saved from terrible fates by his sons. But which of his sons must Anansi reward? Calling upon Nyame, the God of All Things, Anansi solves his quandary in a touching and highly resourceful fashion.

In adapting this popular folktale, Gerald McDermott merges the old with the brand new, combining bold, wealthy color with traditional African design motifs and authentic Ashanti language rhythms.
 
Anansi the Spider is a 1973 Caldecott Honor Book.
