About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Korean Fairy Tales by William Elliot Griffis. Read in English by NoelBadrian Everywhere on earth the fairy world of each country is older and perhaps more enduring than the one we see and feel and tread upon. So I tell in this book the folk lore of the Korean people, and of the behavior of the particular kind of fairies that inhabit the Land of Morning Splendor.
