Korean Ancient Origins by Stella Xu
The origins of Korea in history see the people of this beautiful land fight hard to maintain their independence from their powerful neighbours, particularly from China and Japan. The myths, folk and fairy tales so popular today have grown from this unique sense of individuality and determined identity found throughout the history of Korea.Stella Xu (Introduction) is John R.
