Korean traditional fairy tales have been passed down from generation to generation through people's mouths, based on myths or legends. Grandmothers and grandfathers told their sons and grandsons old stories, and those stories were passed down to their descendants once again. Traditional fairy tales have evolved into new stories by combining the speaker's experiences and other stories. This is the charm of traditional fairy tales. In the past when there were no books, TV, internet, or YouTube, grandparents were great storytellers. When they told stories to their grandchildren at night, the children immersed themselves in a world of fantasy. They played with their imagination between reality and unreality. Before going to bed, the stories made them feel like they were the protagonists in the fairy tales. Fairy tales became the source of children's imagination and a beacon that awakened the true nature of humans. By looking at children with curious eyes while telling stories, anyone can become a great storyteller like Korean grandmas. We will continue to publish a series of books that combine 7 Korean folktales.

In her best-selling book for young readers, Frances Carpenter collects thirty-two classic Korean children's stories from the "Land of the Morning Calm": the woodcutter and the old men of the mountain; the puppy who saved his village from a tiger; the singing girl who danced the Japanese general into the deep river; Why the dog and cat are not friends; and even a more familiar tale of the clever rabbit who outsmarted the tortoise. The children of the Kim family sit at their beloved Grandmother's knee to listen to these and other traditional folk tales which are rooted in thousands of years of Korean culture.
