Read the original English translations side-by-side with their Korean counterparts — featuring scholars, geomancers, witches, demons, and military heroes from the Joseon era. Each tale brings a vivid window into the supernatural beliefs and moral values of classical Korea. Built-in vocabulary support, audio, and pinyin-style romanisation help you follow along in Korean.
