The Fox and the Crane

Abstract

I first saw a wall-full of this series at Kyobo Book in Seoul in July, '04. I bought one copy, came home, and worked to order the full set of thirty booklets, workbooks, and audio cassettes from the publisher. Each set cost 9,800 Won. I have divided that cost among the book (6800 Won), booklet (1000 Won), and cassette (2000 Won). The colored booklet features twenty-eight thick, sturdy pages and excellent color reproduction. The art is cartoon-like, simple, and direct. This version of the story has great facial expressions on the fox. Mr. Fox and Ms. Crane had a big fight a few days ago; that leads to Mr. Fox wanting to trick Ms. Crane. His invitation includes I want to be your friend again. If you trick others, someday you will be tricked too.
