I have read this book

I enjoyed Kwaku Ananse and the Mmoatia the spirit dwarf and how he wanted to obtain the book of stories

Excellent story line from the world. Really enjoyed the story of Ananse the spider and his desire to get wisdom from God

It’s nice how these stories have been passed down generations and not really changed
