This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Griffis, whose Hermit Kingdom has been a reference book for Korea for many years, here presents about a score of Korean tales retold for American children. Probably no equal area has a greater store of tales than Korea. Every hill, lake, stream and plain there appears to have its story; air, earth and water are populated with spirits whose pranks have been told to generation after generation; every old building, ruin, monument and stone figure has given cause for legends; heroes and animals so act in that peninsula, that explanations are necessary and fables regarding them are born. In such circumstances, the difficulty is not in finding stories with which to fill a book, but to select a few from many. Some of the best here given, as Why the dog and cat are enemies and the King of the sparrows, have already been done into English, but they bear re-telling. To many readers the parallels to Rip Van Winkle and Cinderella will be startling, but such parallels are common everywhere. Among the best for local color are The Voice of the Bell, The Great Stone Fire-Eater, and The Sneezing Colossus. The stories are well told and there are some pictures which in quaintness of line and color will give to the child reader a real hint of what Korean children are like. -The American Antiquarian and Oriental Journal, Vol. 34

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "MOUNTAIN UNCLE" was the name given by the villagers to a splendid striped tiger that lived among the highlands of Kang Wen, the long province that from its cliffs overlooks the Sea of Japan. Hunters rarely saw him, and among his fellow-tigers the Mountain Uncle boasted that, though often fired at, he had never been wounded; while as for traps -- he knew all about them and laughed at the devices used by man to catch him and to strip him of his coveted skin. In summer he kept among the high hills and lived on fat deer. In winter, when heavy snow, biting winds, and terrible cold kept human beings within doors, old Mountain Uncle would sally forth to the villages. There he would prowl around the stables, the cattle enclosures, or the pig-pens, in hopes of clawing and dragging out a young donkey, a fat calf, or a suckling pig. Too often he succeeded, so that he was the terror of the country for leagues around....

And yet we played on, because we had hope that we might be the lucky ones." In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant--and that her lover is married--she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations. Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters--strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis--survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history. *Includes reading group guide*

Book excerpt: This collection of Korean folk tales is sure to delight the hearts of all children between the ages of eight and eighty. Written with earthy wit and pathos, these Korea children's tales unveil the inevitable foibles of people everywhere and expose the human-like qualities of animals and the animal-like qualities of humans. Pulsating with the rhythm of life and the seasons, these stories transport the reader to a wonderland, where a tiny mouse teaches filial piety to a spoiled child, a blind man can "see" evil spirits, and fleas drink rice wine. It is somehow deeply reassuring to know that even in present-day war-ravaged and politically-divided Korea, these same stories are still being told, just as they have been for generations.
