She convinces the woodcutter to show her her gown and when he does, she takes the children and flies back up into the heavens, for he wasn't supposed to show her the gown until after the third child was born. After finding a way to get back to her in her home in teh heavens, he longs to see his mother one last time, but again on one condition, and he messes that up, and is left to die alone.… (mer)

Very interesting guide to the Seoul palaces of the late Yi Dynasty kings, which are very handsome in traditional style, though relatively recent

Extremely useful guide to Kyongju and the surrounding area. When I was there in 1987-88, I could get off a bus in central Kyongju, head off into the hills, and find 1000 year old temples in any direction. Adams's guide was what led me to them and told me about them. He also includes the grave mounds of the Silla Dynasty kings, some of which are open to the public and have interesting paintings.
