Story5 out of 5 stars 37
Here are two hilarious Jamaican folktales about the original story spinner himself, both read by Denzel Washington. Anansi the spider is teeny-teeny, but his boasts are as tall as tales get. In the first story, Anansi takes Tiger's challenge and outwits the prideful snake to win possession of all the stories in the jungle. In the second story, Anansi devises a scheme to appear important at his mother-in-law's funeral but gets caught in his own lies and winds up as bald as a mango.

I love Max von Sydow!
Max von Sydow’s voice brings a timeless charm to this already wonderful tale of determination and love. This will be one that I come back to many mor times.
