Come along with us as we retell stories of the mischievous but very intelligent West African, Ashanti trickster, Anansi the Spider. Anansi likes to get his own way and often uses his wit to outsmart animals much larger or stronger than he is; but Anansi doesn't know when enough is enough and his desire to win sometimes gets the best of him. Anansi tales date back to at least the 1500s and travelled by word of mouth from village to village. Throughout the diaspora, enslaved Africans would retell Anansi stories, passing them on through the generations and spreading them across Africa and The Americas. These stories didn't only serve as entertainment but they offered hope. Today, there are several versions of the many Anansi tales. Here are some of them...

The 13 Anansi stories in this short volume were originally, and unusually, an appendix to Popular Tales from the Norse by Sir George Webbe Dasent. Why he chose to include folklore from Africa and the Caribbean within a volume of Norse folklore has been forgotten in the mists of time. Abela Publishing has elected to re-publish these as a volume in their own right as an aide to Edgbarrow School’s fundraising campaign supporting the SOS Children’s Village in Asiakwa, Ghana. ANANSI or Ahnansi (Ah-nahn-see) “the trickster” is a cunning and intelligent spider and is one of the most important characters of West African and Caribbean folklore. The Anansi tales are believed to have originated in the Ashanti tribe in Ghana. (The word Anansi is Akan and means, simply, spider.) They later spread to other Akan groups and then to the West Indies, Suriname, and the Netherlands Antilles. On Curaçao, Aruba, and Bonaire he is known as Nanzi, and his wife as Shi Maria. He is also known as Ananse, Kwaku Ananse, and Anancy; and in the Southern United States he has evolved into Aunt Nancy. He is a spider, but often acts and appears as a man. The story of Anansi is akin to the Coyote or Raven the trickster found in many Native American cultures.
