The Smiles of the Baby Buddha has been published with the idea that it might serve as a guide to both the beauty and the faults of Kyŏngju, and by extension, an introduction to Korean culture. This book also serves as a good guidebook for foreigners visiting Kyŏngju, and foreigners who come to understand Korean culture and the innate spirit of the People.Whereas many works on Korean cultural sites are little more than guidebooks, Prof. Yu’s work provides the reader with a deeper perspective, explaining each site’s significance instead of merely listing unrelated facts.

Editorial Reviews
Review
...deep insights, expertise and fluent writing style were combinded to produce a work with enormous popular appeal. -- Korea Daily News
From the Publisher
This book was designed to allow foreign visitors to have an authentic experience of Kyongju during a two or three-day itinerary. With this in mind, the book has been divided into two sections: Introduction as guide for first-time visitors, and three parts as a collection of essays. This is an excellent choice for those who seek to have deeper insights into the unique features of Korean and Kyongju
