From Anansi, the African trickster, to Jack, the bumbling, lucky, preserving Everyman of traditional stories, Norfolk's characters instruct while they entertain.

3. Jack and the Three Sillies: An adventure story in which Jack must overcome frustration and deception to achieve his goal
4. Tilly and the Eight Steps: A child comes to respect her mom after mysterious things happen in her house
5. Anansi the Spider and His Six Sons: An Ashanti tale in which the father is rescued from danger by his six sons, each using his individual strength to do what the father cannot
