Anansi The Spider Man
Jamaican Folktales
Author: Philip M Sherlock
Who was Anansi? He was a man he was a spider.When things went well he was a man,but when he was in great danger he became a spider,safe in his web high op on the ceiling.By trickery and guile,he always got the better of those who were much bigger than he was.
As a child growing up in Jamaica,Philip Sherlock listened in the evenings to these West Indian tales, which he now retalls with humour and warmth.
The illustrator,Marcia brown, knows well the background the atmosphere for these tales,and her drwings capture completely their gaiety and subtley.
