This is a great collection of Korean folk tales. The illustrations fit the cultural content. My favorite is the story, The Bad Tiger. A tale in which a naughty tiger is eating all of an old woman's radishes. She tricks him into eating dinner at her home and captures him so he can no longer eat her radishes.

The illustrations are very appealing, imperfect line drawings that really stand out.… (més)
