Product Description
The sea hasn't always been salty, and rabbits haven't always had fluffy tails. How the sea grew salty, pigs got their short snouts and rabbits their fluffy tails is revealed in this sparkling collection of Korean folk stories. Gillian McClure's delightful retellings of well known Korean fables and magic tales will transport younger readers to an eastern world of tigers, rice cakes and persimmons alongside more familiar things - all beautifully illustrated in Gillian's own distinctive style.
