Fifty-five folktales offer a fascinating window into the Korean world.

Told with wit and pathos, this lively collection of Korean fables features the ever-iconic tiger, the humble woodcutter, clueless brides, clever talking rabbits, mischievous mice and other engaging characters in situations where folly, wisdom, greed, love, reward and retribution are all found in equal measure.

Fantasy and reality merge in a world where supernatural occurrences are commonplace. A blind man can suddenly see evil spirits. A spoiled child is taught a lesson by a sassy mouse. A menagerie of creatures -- too clever for their own good -- possess the same foibles as humans.

Amongst the many stories and characters you will meet:

The Tiger and the Rabbit -- In which a baby rabbit outsmarts a greedy, foolish tiger
A Korean Cinderella Tale -- Where a magical a creature or two help an oppressed but virtuous girl to win in the end
The Magic Hood -- About how magic, if used for ill purposes, can lead to big trouble
Rice from a Cat's Fur -- In which a devoted cat keeps a family from going hungry and brings them prosperity
And forty other enchanting tales!

This collection is unparalleled in its scope and is the perfect introduction to Korea's rich storytelling tradition -- containing classic legends and fables that will delight young and old alike!
