Holt and illustrated by Soma Han.
"Here, twenty proverbs are presented in lucid yet articulate grammar which lead the reader into many of the alluring and unique facets of Korean culture. Knows as Sok-dam, or "folk-sayings," each proverb depicts a belief system or symbol representative of the Korean people, where character and cooperation are highly revered. Ornately designed watercolor paintings bring the book's text to life by conveying the truths of the Korean tradition with ethereal yet expressive illustrations. All the colors of Korean "folk" life are tenderly juxtaposed with each other to clearly express the simplicity - and sometimes complexity - of Korean proverbs." ]]>
