Korean Tales, Funny and Magical. The Snail Bride

The collection includes 13 Korean folk tales. The tales are filled with magical transformations and amazing adventures of the heroes. You will learn about the marvelous power of one of the traditional Korean masks that transformed a foolish slacker into... a hardworking cow; why the Dog and the Cat became sworn enemies; and that the emperor's donkey ears do not spoil his appearance, but help him hear his people… In these fairy tales, you will meet heroes whose names have become common in Korea. For example, a girl with excellent culinary skills is called Snail Bride (?? ??). The tales are an inexhaustible treasure trove of the wisdom of the Korean people and its ancient traditions, the most important of which is the tradition of respecting elders. The dictionaries accompanying the tales, grammatical comments, and exercises will help readers master common grammatical forms, enrich their vocabulary, and improve their reading skills.
