I’ve always been interested in history books, and while browsing around here and there, I happened upon *Dictionary of Korean History* (Cheonga Publishing, 2001). Its somewhat stiff-sounding title and hefty size might give you the impression that it would be boring, but it’s actually an accessible book. Since it’s a history book for young people, the writing is easy to understand. It’s full of photos and illustrations. I like books with lots of pictures, too. It’s okay not to read it all at once. Keep it on your bookshelf and take it out whenever you need it or feel curious.
