Anansi Time Reviews


  • Magen

    These were fun and well done. Definitely made for a young kid audience, both in how the stories were told (heavily animated with sounds) and content (these are watered down versions of Anansi the trickster spider African tales). Currently free to listen to on Audible stories streaming webpage.

    Also listened to:
    Anansi and the Pot of Beans

  • Željko Filipin

    Funny and silly stories about Anansi the spider.

  • Mark Pedigo

    (Reading through many of the stories at stories.audible.com, made available for free for the covid stay-at-home.)

    Super short (less than an hour) set of stories centered around the African trickster spider god Anansi. Completely charming, suitable for kids.
