Korean Folk-tales

Retold by James Riordan

Buy "Korean Folk-tales (Oxford Myths & Legends)" on Amazon

Like others in this excellent 'Myths and Legends' series, this collection contains many very good stories and reminds you of the enormous range of tales. These, too, are good for reading aloud, although in this edition the individual stories are often lost. One solution is to link them with similar tales from other cultures or to have pupils produce them as single illustrated editions where the story can be pondered over.
