Anansi submitted by kkellis on July 6, 2018, 7:56pm We love Anansi stories! This one is beautifully illustrated

Funny! submitted by rea2mill on July 19, 2022, 5:45pm Anansi stories are always really funny and you always wonder if Anansi will actually succeed in tricking someone or not, which is half the fun so I won’t spoil it for you. Whether it succeeds or not, this is one of his funniest tricks!
