Most people know Anansi for being the mischievous Trickster Spider. But once upon a time, Anansi was just a regular god. Sure, he managed to trick the Sky God, and he even outwitted Death himself, but in lots of other ways he was just like you. He wanted to bring fun and colour to the world. This is his story.
Packed with retellings from mythology and graphic art panels, ‘Little Myths’ is the perfect series for little mythology lovers.
Amanda has been drawing ever since she can remember. She was born and bred in London. At the age of 14 she moved to Ghana and studied art at school and later returned to the UK to study graphic design. Her artistic path deviated slightly when she studied Classics at University; and then later started working in finance. But over the years, in a bid to return to her artistic roots, Amanda has built a professional illustration portfolio and is now loving every bit of her illustration career!
