Review # 1 was written on 2016-04-21 00:00:00 Olivier Gourgousse I didn't like this one quite as much as other Anancy/Anansi stories I've read, but it is definitely a nice addition to the canon. It was perhaps a bit long-winded for the result it achieved, and it didn't have quite the playful irony that I expect, partly because it didn't seem like Anansi knew what he was doing during the story. But it did stay true to the Anansi character. The artwork was lush, and I loved the clever ways that the artist depicted a human with the appearance/impression of a spider.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-03-09 00:00:00 Neil Flynn We enjoy reading books about Anancy the trickster and we really like the stories by Eric Kimmel. We were excited to discover an Anancy story we hadn't read before at our local library. It's an entertaining tale, but not one of our favorites.
