A to Z of Anansi the spider.
If there's anything that seems odd to me about the Anansi stories, it's that Tiger is a main character. Tiger is big, strong, rich and usually has plenty of food. He and Anansi are cautious friends. They understand each other. Tiger knows Anansi can be deceiving and Anansi knows Tiger can easily kill him.
My question is, why Tiger and not Lion, when lions are African? Tigers are Asian. So how did Tiger get into stories? Lion does show up from time to time, but he seems to be minor actor, at best.
L is for Lion
