Korean Folk & Fairy Tales

A delightful collection of stories of everyday folk, from a country that now brings K-Pop culture into the eyes and ears of the world. Organized into four sections – Love, Marriage & Family, Powerful Spirits & Mystical Realms, The Magical & the Supernatural, Tales of Animals & Mythical Creatures – this delightful collection gathers together the misadventures of the poor and the rich alike, the heart-warming and the cautious warning tales of everyday life.

With folk stories such as Hyung Bo and Nahl Bo, or, The Swallow-King's Rewards, The Magic Invasion of Seoul, The King of the Flowers, The Unmannerly Tiger, Tokgabi and His Pranks, and Prince Sandalwood, the Father of Korea, this collection offers a rich tapestry of traditional Korean tales.

Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction: authors, myths, tales, and history without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential, and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each book features a new Introduction and a general Glossary of Mythological Terms or lists of Ancient Leaders.

This is a hardback, deluxe edition that is foiled and embossed, with gilded edges.
