Online Korean Storybook 15: The Squill Bride
Written by Lee Choon Hee | Illustrated by Soh Yoon Kyeong
The old children made the squill bride dolls out of squill so that they could make friends with the dolls to talk to.
The ‘GookShiGgoRengEe Village (국시꼬랭이 동네)’ series is written by Korean writer Lee Choon Hee and directed by Lim Jae Hae, about the forgotten stories from traditional Korean Culture. This series is a place where the stories of Korean children in the past are still alive with vivid traces of their laughter and tears. They may appear small and in comparison to the fancy extravagant culture at the center of all the attention, therefore the village has gathered to take notice and care for the nostalgic aspects of our culture. Today, our children go back and forth from school to other varieties of extra-curricular activities, and play with computers and televisions. There were days when children would freely run around through the mountains and fields, eating and playing with the flowers and the grass they would pick up along the way. Their imagination did not cease to grow as they played in the evening under the moonlight by stepping on the shadows that the moon provided for them, and by counting the stars in the sky.
