Book Guide by K-BOOKS AND MORE

This is a classic coming-of-age novel beloved by people around the world. I recommend reading this classic in Korean.
Additionally, the illustrations included are colorful and beautiful, adding to the enjoyment of the book.
While longer than other classic masterpiece “어린 왕자,” it is still suitable for intermediate Korean learners.

Book Introduction
written by publisher 동녘, translated by K-BOOKS AND MORE

The cherished “나의 라임 오렌지 나무”, beloved by readers in our country, has been reissued in a comprehensive edition.
It has corrected over 100 mistranslations from the previous edition and included illustrations selected through a competition.

The endearing mischief and innocent spirit of the young troublemaker “제제”, along with the story of a harsh world that wounds children, still touches the emotions and brings tears to the eyes of readers. While maintaining the typical elements of a coming-of-age novel, it portrays the journey of a child breaking through the shell of fantasy and dreams to confront harsh reality.

Through the death of his friend, “뽀르뚜”, who was the only one to truly understand him, “제제” undergoes the painful rites of passage.
On the day when the lime-orange tree, which was like his alter ego, first blooms, “제제” bids farewell to his childhood years.
