Review for Anansi The Trickster Spider:
"These stories were an enjoyable read and, although Anansi is familiar to me, it was lovely to find some stories I had never come across. Anansi and the Tommy was a particularly clever way to end because this is one tale where Anansi uses his cleverness to help someone else."
