Book Description
Thirty Best Folktales from Korea by James S. Gale is a captivating collection of thirty folktales drawn from Korean oral and literary traditions. This anthology introduces readers to a fascinating world of seers who predict the future, wizards, wandering ghosts, goblins, clever maidens, wronged officials, and hunters who encounter mysterious realms. Some tales explore the origins of strange happenings, while others preserve the stories and beliefs passed down through generations.
James S. Gale, a missionary and scholar who spent decades in Korea, brings these traditional narratives together as both entertaining stories and a glimpse into Korean cultural heritage. The collection reflects the humour, beliefs, customs, and supernatural imagination that shaped everyday life in Korea. Ideal for readers interested in folklore, mythology, cultural history, and traditional short stories, this 160-page paperback offers an engaging introduction to Korea's rich storytelling traditions.
