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)."

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.
