Description

This colorfully illustrated multicultural Korean children’s book presents Indian fairy tales and other folk stories—providing insight into a vibrant literary culture.

Korean Children’s Favorite Stories is a fascinating selection of Korean folktales for children that are still being told, just as they’ve been for generations. Some are Korean-specific, whilst others echo those told in other countries. Written with wit and pathos, they unveil the inevitable foibles of people in every single place 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 an entire village.

Korean stories include:

  • The Story Bag
  • The Pheasant, the Dove, and the Magpie
  • The Bridegroom’s Shopping
  • The Bad Tiger
  • The Great Flood
  • The Pumpkin Seeds
  • The Grateful Tiger
  • The Three Princesses
  • And more…
