Anansi

T0442830
Chained in the hold of a slave ship bound for the Caribbean, a terrified young girl's only comfort is the voice of a woman she can't see. She is told 'Anansi stories', tales of the crafty spider whose cunning and humorous tricks give the girl the resilience and wit she needs to survive. Moving and funny at the same time, Anansi juxtaposes the savagery of the slave trade with the exuberance of traditional storytelling.
