DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis multicultural children's book presents classic Korean fairy tales and other folk stories--providing a delightful look into a rich literary culture. The Korean people possess a folklore tradition as colorful and captivating as any in the world, but the stories themselves still are not as well-known to Western readers as those from The Brothers Grimm, Mother Goose, or Hans Christian Andersen. In her best-selling book for young readers, Frances Carpenter collects thirty-two classic Korean children's stories from the "Land of the Morning Calm": the woodcutter and the old men of the mountain; the puppy who saved his village from a tiger; the singing girl who danced the Japanese general into the deep river; Why the dog and cat are not friends; and even a more familiar tale of the clever rabbit who outsmarted the tortoise. The children of the Kim family sit at their beloved Grandmother's knee to listen to these and other traditional folk tales which are rooted in thousands of years of Korean culture.

Diane Patricia Capone, the granddaughter who was with him almost every day throughout his final years, has supplemented her childhood memories with many previously unknown revelations told to her as an adult by her father and grandmother. Al's beloved wife, Mae, and with her readings in the extensive private diaries kept by her own mother, Diana Casey Capone. It is a fascinating tale, and must-reading for anyone who wishes to understand the complex life of the legendary American icon who was Al Capone." -Deirde Bair received the National Book Award among her many honors, and is the author most recently of Al Capone: His Life, Legacy, and Legend."This is an important, heartfelt story, told honestly and solidly organized around the lives of Alphonse Capons, his wife, and his direct descendants. It answers a number of major historical questions and has a credibility which readers will immediately recognize because it is written by Al Capone's granddaughter Diane. It is based on what her grandmother, Mae Capone, told her in many conversations they had over the years, and it is supported by various documents in the family's possession, other evidence (including DNA tests), and personal photos. As much as this book needed to be written, it needs to be read. It is the first of its kind - a factual account of Al Capone's personal life by one of his relatives." -John J. Binder, author of Al Capone's Beer Wars and The Chicago Outfit.For the first time, the true stories of Al Capone's private life written by his granddaughter, Diane Patricia Capone.
