The Sky Bridge of Birds Classic Korean Folk Tales

Unearth a charmed land of gods and monsters in this mesmerising new anthology of classic Korean folk tales. Discover the dark, whimsical wonder of ancient Korea in this spellbinding hardback collection of magical tales told and retold across the centuries.

Uncanny and entrancing, shadowy and sorcerous, the stories gathered in The Sky Bridge of Birds are some of the best, most bewitching Korean folk tales from across the ages. Carefully recorded during the turn of the twentieth century by a unique set of folklorists, the tales of yore presented in this beautiful new anthology will transport readers to a realm of myth and mystery.
