"This book would be a wonderful addition to a family's library and a fun way to share Korean culture with your children." -- The Korean Way blog, "Thirteen Koreanfolk tales are compiled in this collection of stories for children. Use them for bedtime stories; they are perfect read alouds." -- Pragmatic Mom blog, "This collection of 13 Korean folktales was originally published in 1955 as The Story Bag. Kyoung-Sim's new watercolor illustrations, filled with animals, demons, and resourceful folk, make this edition much more attractive, and the short, straightforward retellings are well suited for independent reading as well as for reading aloud." -- Booklist, "This book is full of traditional folktales from Korea. It always amazes me how folktales can give you an idea about the culture of a country. The stories include the animals and a bit about life in the country as well as some of the fantasies and legends." -- Crafty Moms Share, "This collection of 13 Korean folktales was originally published in 1955 as The Story Bag .

    I have purchased from them many times. This time, and on occasion I have had an issue with the product, but the seller is graceful about correcting errors. They do a huge volume and sometimes have sent the wrong book or one of their multiples that does not match the description. With swift communication, the seller always resolves the issue. The shipping speed & packaging is excellent. I will continue buying from this seller!
