Who wrote Anansi fables?

Anansi fables are part of the oral tradition of West African cultures, particularly those of the Akan people of Ghana. They were not written down by a single author, but rather passed down through generations of storytellers.

While there are no specific authors, there have been many collectors and writers who have documented and adapted Anansi stories for modern audiences, such as:

* Joel Chandler Harris, who popularized Anansi stories in the United States with his "Uncle Remus" tales, although he took significant liberties with the stories and characters.

* Harold Courlander, who worked with an Akan storyteller to collect and translate authentic Anansi stories in his book "The Cow-Tail Switch and Other West African Stories."

It's important to remember that Anansi fables are living traditions, constantly evolving and being reinterpreted, even today.
