Spiderman Anancy Book

Both spider and man, Anancy can change his nature as the situation demands. He is anything from a lovable rogue to an artful prince, relying on cleverness and cunning to outwit his adversaries. James Berry retells these stories of Spiderman Anancy in colorful language that evokes the rich heritage of their Caribbean and West African origins. All the lively, capricious characters are here: proud and stupid Bro Tiger, wily Bro Puss, nasty Bro Monkey. Over and over they pit their wits against Anancy, and over and over he outsmarts them. Those who are familiar with these characters will be pleased by their lively incarnation in these twenty short stories; those who are not will be introduced to an important family of myth and legend.
