Ananse the Cunning Spider and the Magic Cook Pot

About the Book

Ananse stories are shared among Ghanaian families for entertainment and to teach morals and cultural values to children and adults alike. This particular one was my favorite as a child, and I decided to share it with my son, Mark. Mark also enjoyed this story so much he often requested that I tell him the story over again. As he got older, he suggested that we write our Ananse story so the whole world can enjoy it too.
