Then you could do worse than while away an afternoon with these engaging sketches.This sketchbook features finely-crafted, illustrated accounts of six mesmerising peaks:- Mount Halla (the highest in South Korea, 'catching the Milky Way');- Mount Naejang (with 'treasure within', a cautionary tale for would-be hikers!);- Mount Taebaek (a prominent shamanist peak);- Mount Wolchul ('moon-rise mountain', with its chasm-spanning Cloud Bridge);- Mount Du-ryun ('wheel-head', rising from the Korean peninsula's southern tip);- Mount Mudeung (supposedly 'unrivalled').What better way to explore South Korean culture and society than by hiking, in this country dominated by mountains?Jacob Lotinga has previously authored China's Holy Hikes.
