Long ago, when the earth was set down and the sky was lifted up, all the
folktales were owned by the Sky God. And Anansi, that cunning little
spider, was determined to buy them back. The payment? A live python, one
real fairy, and forty-seven stinging hornets. Not such a high price to
pay for all the folktales on earth. But how will Anansi find these hard
to come bgy items? It sounds impossible! There's only one way to find
the help he needs -- Anansi must go to his clever wife, Aso. But will
she be smart enough to outwit the Sky God and get the stories back? This
humorous retelling of an Ashanti tale brings Anansi together with his
better half in an ingenious scheme that will delight readers of all
ages!
