This colorful marionette and hand and rod puppet play is based on the African tales of a tricky spider who uses cleverness to achieve his wishes.

The beautiful marionettes for this program were created especially for the library by Wood and Strings Puppet Company. The hand and rod puppets, as well as all other aspects of the show, were created by our own Wishing Chair Productions!
