Description

The power of love within families; the complexities of relationships; the rites of passage for birth, coming of age, marriage, and death-these are some of the themes covered in this wonderful volume.

Author and storyteller Lindy Soon Curry offers us 25 enchanting tales that foster understanding of Korean culture and Korean Americans.

Humorous tales, teaching tales, tall tales, classics, and a section of stories about tigers are included.

Written in a style that easily lends itself to read-alouds as well as to silent reading, these stories reflect unique cultural traditions and values of Korea as well as universal symbols and themes.

Curry's tips for storytelling give educators insights in how to effectively present or perform the tales.

In addition, Dr. Chan-eung Park discusses the wisdom to be found in the stories and the cultural continuity of the collection.

A color plate section illustrates some of the traditional arts, customs, landscapes of Korea.
