A gorgeously illustrated collection of 19 classic Korean tales of the supernatural! From spooky tales of shape-shifting beasts and vengeful demons to romantic stories of enchanted love, the 19 stories in this collection bring together the best of Korea's supernatural folklore. Thirty-six gorgeous watercolor paintings and pencil drawings by artist Marco Furlotti bring the stories to life. Included in this anthology are:
- The Hen and the Centipede: A poor man marries his wealthy employer, only to find she is an otherworldly centipede locked in a deadly battle with a ferocious white rooster
- How Chin Outwitted the Devils: A clever policeman tricks hell's emissaries, who trap the souls of the dying in earthenware bottles
- The Swallow King's Rewards: A kind man gains magical riches for helping an injured swallow, while his greedy brother suffers bizarre curses
- Yun Se-Pyong, the Wizard: Two rival magicians clash in an epic duel--one transformed into a beetle, the other into a bee
- Plus 15 more supernatural tales to captivate readers of all ages!
These classic tales are retold by authors who traveled to Korea and fell in love with the rich culture they encountered. This deluxe hardcover volume will be treasured by fans of Korean culture, as well as anyone who enjoys a good demon story.
