Discover the dark, whimsical wonder of ancient Korea in this spellbinding hardback collection of magical tales told and retold across the centuries.

A faerie country of unearthly beauty; a hoi tree encircled by violent apparitions; a wild-cat woman fleeing at the first light of dawn; an old man transformed into a fish - only a tooth and a jumble of fingernails le in his wake.

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.
