Soon to be a streaming series! From #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman, a tale playful, profound, and rife with mayhem and mischief―one of ten classic Gaiman works repackaged with elegant original watercolor art by acclaimed artist Henry Sene Yee When Fat Charlie’s dad named...

Fat Charlie Nancy lebt in London, arbeitet als Buchhalter, ist nicht besonders beliebt, nicht besonders gutaussehend, nicht besonders witzig. Sein bisher überschaubar spannendes Leben nimmt eine rasante Wendung als Charlies Bruder auftaucht. Spider ist das krasse Gegenteil zu Fat Charlie. Gutaussehend, witzig, überheblich, selbstverliebt, und er hat die göttlichen Fähigkeiten ihres gemeinsamen Vaters Anansi geerbt. Eine Brüdergeschichte, eine Göttergeschichte, eine Geschichte über Träume und Märchen, voller schräger Wendungen und ungeheuerlicher Begebenheiten. Und eine Geschichte über Familienbande, Freundschaft und Liebe.

Here are two hilarious Jamaican folktales about the original story spinner himself, both read by Denzel Washington. Anansi the spider is teeny-teeny, but his boasts are as tall as tales get. In the first story, Anansi takes Tiger's challenge and outwits the prideful snake to win possession of all the stories in the jungle. In the second story, Anansi devises a scheme to appear important at his mother-in-law's funeral but gets caught in his own lies and winds up as bald as a mango.

Ananse: The Village Trickster is a beautiful retelling of African folklore that doubles as a perfect bedtime story. This story explores the ancient mystic forms of narratives that bring down the walls between human and animal realms.

Charlie Nancy tem uma vida pacata e um emprego entediante em Londres. A pedido da noiva, ele concorda em convidar o pai para seu casamento e fazer uma tentativa de reaproximação, já que há vinte anos os dois não se falam.

A viagem de Charlie até os Estados Unidos para o funeral acaba se tornando a jornada de uma nova vida. Charlie não tinha ideia de que o pai era um deus. Menos ainda de que ele próprio tinha um irmão. Agora sua vida vai ficar mais interessante... e bem mais perigosa.
