Welcome. First time here, pull up a chair; if you’re back again, you know how this goes. I’m Clive Gilson, and this is Tales From the World’s Firesides, where old legends, lost folktales, and strange myths get told the way they were meant to be, out loud, with a bit of smoke in the air. Today we’re heading to the Caribbean for a proper Anansi caper, Tiger’s Breakfast, which is exactly as chaotic as it sounds.
This version comes from Martha Warren Beckwith’s Jamaica Anansi Stories (1924), as told by Richard Morgan of the Santa Cruz Mountains. If the tale makes you grin, gasp, or think of the stories you grew up with, stick around, there’s plenty more on the way. You can find my full collections at clivegilson.com, or on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/4kVf92t. And if you enjoyed it, hit like, subscribe, and share it with a fellow folklore fan; it really does help keep the fire going.
