Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Two weavers discover a magical-looking spider web in the jungle. Inspired by the web's brilliant design and the weaver who created it, the men return to their village and create complete patterns of their own, which they call "kente", a cloth now known throughout the world. This story is based on a Ghanaian legend. Full-color illustrations.
In this retelling of a tale from Ghana, a wondrous spider shows two Ashanti weavers how to make intricate, colorful patterns in the cloth that they weave.
