Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Missing. Charles E. Tuttle Company [Published date: 1963]. Hardcover, xi, 233 pp; 19 cm. First Tuttle edition. Red cloth boards stamped in black with dragon design on front cover and decorative borders; gilt lettering and ornament on spine. In good+ condition / NO dust jacket. Light bumping and scuffing to edges of covers with a small nick to the cloth at the bottom corners of the front and rear covers; mild shelfwear. Binding tight.

Translated by James Scarth Gale from the Korean of Im Bang (1640-1724) and Yi Ryuk (born 1459). Originally published in 1913, this Tuttle edition reproduces the complete English text with Gale's introduction and biographical notes. A landmark in the introduction of Korean literature to Western readers, it gathers fifty-three traditional tales drawn from Buddhist, Confucian, and Taoist sources. The stories blend myth, ghost lore, and moral allegory - ranging from "Charan," a tragic romance, and "The Old Man Who Became a Fish," to supernatural parables such as "Ten Thousand Devils," "The Geomancer," and "The King of Yom-na (Hell)." Contents include: Charan; The Story of Chang To-Ryong; A Story of the Fox; Cheung Puk-Chang, the Seer; Yun Se-Pyong, the Wizard; The Wild-Cat Woman; The Ill-Fated Priest; The Vision of the Holy Man; The Soldier of Kang-Wha; Cursed by the Snake; The Man on the Road; The Old Man Who Became a Fish; The Geomancer; The Man Who Became a Pig; The Old Woman Who Became a Goblin; The Grateful Ghost; The Plucky Maiden; The Resourceful Wife; The Boxed-Up Governor; The Man Who Lost His Legs; Ten Thousand Devils; The Home of the Fairies; The Honest Witch; Whom the King Honours; The Fortunes of Yoo; An Encounter with a Hobgoblin; The Snake's Revenge; The Brave Magistrate; The Temple to the God of War; A Visit from the Shades; The Fearless Captain; The King of Yom-na (Hell); Hong's Experiences in Hades; Haunted Houses; Im, the Hunter; The Magic Invasion of Seoul; The Awful Little Goblin; God's Way; The Old Man in the Dream; The Perfect Priest; The Propitious Magpie; The Old Buddha; A Wonderful Medicine; Faithful Mo; The Renowned Maing; The Senses; Who Decides, God or the King?; Three Things Mastered; Strangely Stricken Dead; The Mysterious Hoi Tree; Ta-Hong. A classic English translation of Korean supernatural and moral tales by pioneering missionary scholar James S. Gale, long esteemed for its linguistic accuracy and its early preservation of oral traditions otherwise lost during Korea's early twentieth-century upheavals.
