The author has retold this African tale and illustrated
it with wood cuts. It is the story of how Ananse the spider man won
stories from the Sun God for his people. He is set the task of retrieving
the Leopard, Hornets and a Fairy. He cleverly sets about achieving his
required goals and succeeds, or this story and others would not be here to
tell.
From the rich African culture brought over during the days of
slavery, this and other stories survived to be told and retold through the
ages . The stories can also be found in other countries with the flavor of
the culture in which they survive.
