Nnedi Okorafor Speaks of Spiders...

... and their role in storytelling.

Anansi I know, and Spider Grandmother.  Udide Okwanka, Spider the Artist, is new to me; I shall have to watch for more information.

I loved Reading Rainbow. I think I first heard about Anansi through a storyteller, though.

I first heard about Anansi through Elizabeth Ann Scarborough's Fairy Godmother series, then Neil Gaiman.

I have often found fascinating bits of this world tucked into descriptions of some other world.
