    About this audiobook

    This book is dedicated to exploring the gods and goddesses that the Koreans of old worshiped, and within it, you will find more information about:

    • Strange creatures from Korean mythology 
    • The Korean mythology of Tangu and Ahri
    • Gods and goddesses, and their background stories, from Korean mythology 
    • Supernatural powers, relationships, and dramatic legends 
    • Persisting values from Korean mythology that are present today 

    Korean mythology is intricate, complex, and the ideals behind some of their mythological beliefs were often intertwined with real-life events. This book will examine how both myth and fact contributed to the culture and traditions of the Koreans, and how these influences and some stories continue to live on throughout the centuries.

      This is a hidden treasure. This audio book has useful data. I tuned in to this audiobook, and it was definitely inspiring. I was able to comprehend everything clearly, not just because the storyteller pronounced words very well, but also since the info in it contained new facts to be learned.

      I was actually amazed. And I do not always mention this about every audio book. Let me think for a moment ... how should I say this? It was expert, straightforward, and reasonable. With that being said, yup, I do highly recommend this. No doubt about it. I do not believe the word "awesome" does this book justice. There has to be a much better word, and I will certainly keep searching, since it deserves something great to be said about it.

      I appreciated it so much that I may listen to it in the future sometime. The pronunciation of the words in this particular audio book was excellent, along with all the info contained in it. Based upon that, I am really happy that I bought the book. It was worth my time. In the beginning, I was wondering where exactly it was going, but after tuning in to it for a while, I got into it. Then I saw this book for what it was: A fantastic endeavor by an educated writer and professional narrator.

I feel it's so great that it ought to get 6 stars. I didn't stop listening until the end. That's just how much I appreciated it. I was pleased to hear the right articulation of all the words by a proficient audiobook creator.
