Not a big fan of the artwork on this one, but I do love Spider and his adventures! My favorite was the cleverness of the fisherman in the last story.

I think I enjoyed this book more because it made Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys make more sense. I read that book first before American Gods, and didn't really "get it." After reading American Gods and Norse Mythology by Gaiman and now this book of West African Folktales based on the mythology of Anansi, Gaiman's other book makes more sense. I am going to read it again with this new context.
