關於作者：
Caldecott Medalist Gerald McDermott''s illustrated books
and animated films have brought him international recognition. He
is highly regarded for his culturally diverse works inspired by
traditional African and Japanese folktales, hero tales of the
Pueblos, and the archetypal mythology of Egypt, Greece, and Rome.
It was his fascination with the imagery of African folklore that
led him to the story of Anansi the Spider.
Gerald McDermott was born in Detroit, Michigan. He attended
Cass Technical High School, where he was awarded a National
Scholastic Scholarship to Pratt Institute. Once in New York, he
began to produce and direct a series of animated films on mythology
in consultation with renowned mythologist Joseph Campbell. These
films became the basis for McDermott''s first picture books. Among
McDermott''s many honors and awards are the Caldecott Medal for
Arrow to the Sun, a Pueblo myth, and Caldecott honors for Anansi
the Spider: A Tale from Ashanti and Raven: A Trickster Tale from
the Pacific Northwest. In addition, Mr. McDermott is Primary
Education Program Director for the Joseph Campbell Foundation.
