Anansi: Myths, Gods And Immortals

Anansi is at once a creator god, a trickster folk hero, a wily spider and a heroic symbol of resistance. From his origins in West African folklore, to his lauded status in Jamaican culture, Anansi is a versatile immortal whose many stories reflect the early world of his origins, and the potential for re-imagination.

Sometimes dark and chilling, occasionally light-hearted, but always lively and clever, in this collection of new stories, Anansi appears in the lives of everyday folk, pricks the pomposity of the mighty and appears in both the modern and the ancient world, a symbol still of individuality and resilience, adapting to city life, with the undertow of ancient lore ever-present.

Beautifully presented with an embossed cover, a foiled rose gold edge and a gold satin page marker, this book a delight to read and give.

Format: hardcover.
