[Walraven, B.C.A.]

The book by Grayson has been reissued by Routledge in what looks like a cheaper edition.

Hello, Mercedes -- welcome to our humble list.

The text that you need to start with is certainly Dr Grayson's "Myths and Legends from Korea: An Annotated Compendium of Ancient and Modern Materials"
http://www.amazon.com/Myths-Legends-Korea-Annotated-Compendium/dp/0700712410/ref=sr_1_1

I see that they're charging a ridiculous price for it, as it's now become rare, but you might be able to find a used one or some other way -- we can hope that this classic standard-setter will soon be re-issued as an affordable paperback!

Sincere Regards,
