Korean children's favorite stories : fables, myths and fairy tales

Kim, So-un 1907-1981 (author.). Chŏng, Kyŏng-sim, 1975- (illustrator.).

Summary: This multicultural Korean children's book presents Korean fairy tales and other folk stories-providing insight into a vibrant literary culture. This is a captivating collection of Korean folktales for children which are still being told, just as they have been for generations. Some are Korean-specific, while others echo those told in other countries. Written with wit and pathos, they unveil the inevitable foibles of people everywhere and expose the human-like qualities of animals and the animal-like qualities of humans. These Korean fables pulsate with the rhythm of life and the seasons, transporting the reader to a wonderland where ants talk, a baby rabbit outwits a tiger, a tree fathers a child, and a toad saves a whole village.
