Friends, Friends, My Bosom Friends

The author compiled this invaluable collection of traditional children’s songs through painstaking search nationwide. Often forgotten for decades amidst the maelstrom of decolonization, national division, war, and industrialization, these songs reveal harmony on many levels—between work and play, between human activities and natural rhythms, and between delightful wordplay and refreshing imagination. Included are commentaries and a CD recording of the songs, sung by both young and old.
Friends, Friends, My Bosom Friends and companion volume Off, Off, Off to the Persimmons won the Grand Prize for Planning in the 2nd Good Children’s Book Contest sponsored by Changbi Publishers.
