Author: Gillian McClure
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.

What a find! This is an absolute treasure of a book, beautiful to look at, silky to the touch and a delight to read… The universality of human emotions comes across through echoes of Rumplestiltskin, Brer Rabbit, Anasi, Pinocchio, yet the uniquness and mystery of Korea still shines through. It is a heart-warming experience where good wins over evil, kindness over weakness, brains over brawn and virtue is duly rewarded. The delicacy of the illustrations is quite enchanting and mirrors the tone of the text. I can't wait to get into school and entrance a class of young listeners with these richly textured stories. - School Librarian
