The book opens the reader to the world of ancient Korean legends. Real people live in this world - kings who created states on the Korean Peninsula in ancient times. Their subjects and advisers use wise words to warn the sovereigns against rash actions, and their loyal and brave warriors save the country and their ruler from destruction. It happens that kings are seduced by beauties and spend the wealth of the country on their own pleasures, but in the end bad rulers lose their possessions. Many characters in legends have magical powers and know how to get along with the inhabitants of another world, capable of controlling human destinies. In legends, there are wizard monks, soothsayers and geomancers, dragons, tigers and werewolf foxes, who are not always friendly to people. Either someone who has knowledge and skill saves him from a werewolf, or the hero himself conquers him with his courage and selflessness. In the end, the greedy and evil always suffer defeat, but miraculous powers bestow happiness on the loving and kind.
