Recenzii

'A welcome addition to the literature. In easily readable translations it brings together a substantial number of tales, some of which are most fascinating. This is material that will induce many readers to study Korean culture more deeply' - Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society
'This impressive collection of Korean folktales and foundation myths is a major addition for studies of Korean folklore and for those who wish to do cross-cultural studies with Korean materials. This volume, compiled and annotated by James Grayson, is quite surely the most authoritative collection of Korean materials translated into English to date and opens up a cornucopia of materials to an English readfing audience.' - Asian Folklore Studies
