A retelling of some of the Anansi stories. Sir Philip Sherlock’s interest in Jamaican folklore and history especially lead to many retellings of traditional tales; the majority of his work is in the Carberry Collection. The re-telling of this particular tale is bi-lingual, Spanish and English. The publication of this beautiful book, produced in Kingston, was underwritten by a volunteer society.
