Each story unfolds with wonder, laughter, and the timeless rhythm of Korea’s folk spirit.Children and families will meet heroes both humble and bold. A girl who gives everything for her father’s sight, a poor woodcutter who weds a maiden from the sky, and two brothers whose hearts lead them to very different ends all find their place among talking animals and shining kings. Every page opens a door to magic shaped by the warmth of home, the beauty of nature, and the wisdom of old storytellers.Illustrations in soft hues and told in long, lyrical rhymes, these retellings carry young readers into a world of wonder that feels both ancient and alive. Here, laughter mingles with lessons, friendship grows from gratitude, and even the smallest creature may change the course of heaven. It is a collection meant to be read aloud, shared by lamplight, and remembered long after the last page turns.
