Hello, super great kids and how are you?

I'm very happy because the storytelling festival season has begun and it feels like summer in the UK.

Ooh and there's an hour which hoots in the woods near my house every evening.

And today we have a story which is both a how and why and a trickster story called Why a Nancy has long skinny legs and it's told by

talented storyteller Emily Hennessy. Now, just before we hear from Emily, I wonder how many Anansi stories you can name.

Well, we've had about 15 on our podcast so far, so see how many you can remember.
