Summary
Ananse: The Village Trickster is a beautiful retelling of African folklore that doubles as a perfect bedtime story. This story explores the ancient mystic forms of narratives that bring down the walls between human and animal realms. The characters are animated, witty, and engaging, which is how children like their stories. Ananse's betrayal and impetuous nature have him up against all the other people of Mampa who also are in a battle against nature.
After a prolonged drought, Odomankoma the sky god brings rain for the farms and crops to grow again. The chapters are filled with vivid imagery that aims to compel and draw children's roaming minds into the heart of an exciting adventure. It's this combination of prose and poetry that makes Ananse a darling for every child that hears the tale of the trickster spider.
