Anancy-spiderman

James Berry assembles twenty stories about Jamaican trickster Anancy Spiderman and his companions Tiger, Rabat, Monkey-Mother and many more in this collection of folk tales. The tales read like they are being told by a wise storyteller. Berry shares stories about Tiger's attempts to gain the upper hand with Anancy, Anancy's bid to gain shiny things, the saving of Tacooma's tree, Monkey-Mother's stealing of Mrs Dog First Child. It's a collection of stories that are fresh, stories you have never heard before, stories that are clever as well as wise.
