(2) K-3 Illustrated by Baba Wague Diakite. The boastful and greedy spider connives his way through ten well-paced episodes retold here from the Ghanian author's childhood recollections. The folk-art paintings are sometimes at odds with the storyteller's words, but the stories offer enjoyable glimpses at Ananse's triumphs and humiliations.
