A specific genre that I enjoy reading is folktales from different countries. I discovered folktales because when I first decided to work from home, one of the work-at-home ideas suggested was translating folktales. I did not pursue this endeavor but I did find that our local public library had a treasure trove of folktales in the children's literature section. I could suggest several; however, for this blog post, I'll only suggest one. Tales of a Korean Grandmother: 32 Traditional Tales from Korea
There is a description on Amazon that described this book better than any words I could come up with.
"This multicultural children's book presents classic Korean fairy tales and other folk stories—providing a delightful look into a rich literary culture."
Tales of a Korean Grandmother: 32 Traditional Tales from Korea
Enough said. Need a diversion from the arduous grind of your daily work? Read a children's book. Pick a folktale. Do you have a favorite folktale?
