The inspiration behind writing these short stories stems from the authors interest in folk tales during his youthful days when from time-to-time an astute story teller would gather children under the moon moonlight and pensively tell what is known in Ghana as Kweku Ananse stories: that is the name given to the spider known to weave webs with yarn.

So telling stories in such situations is like spinning a yarn - which in the literal sense is collective threads of rope or a sailor’s story spun out to some length often with incredible elements.
