Reviews:
"Anansi stories are well known in the Caribbean and orators like Louise Bennett really brings them to life in the Jamaican dialect. This selection of stores are written in the "English" words and would make an excellent reading book to parents and children of all ages! The stories are not too long, but there is always a moral."
