The Strand Magazine, launched in January 1891, was one of the most successful and influential popular magazines of all time. Making its mark immediately with the publication of the first Sherlock... This description may be from another edition of this product.
We are told that the book is suitable for the four-to-eight age range, but I bought it, attracted by the truly wonderful, vivid, illustrations and read it to my two-year-old. It is currently her favourite book, she demands it many times a day and understands the story line. In addition she is attracted by the cadence of the language, and enjoys singing the words to different tunes, and making up additional words to go in Anansi's song. An excellent introduction to the Anansi stories--I hope that the author writes (and illustrates!) many more for young readers.
