This book is good for Beginner to Low-Medium Intermediate. The beginning folktales are easy, but they gradually get harder and longer towards the end. I would recommend this book to every beginner. From there on, go to harder text, but not like a novel.

I just got this book on Amazon called Korean Stories for Language Learners. I like it a lot because it has traditional folktales. For each short story, it has its English translation as well as some vocabulary, culture notes, and comprehension questions! I would definitely recommend getting a good grasp on some grammar first, as the stories difficulty scales with each one. It also comes with a CD!

EDIT: I realize it’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but thought I’d recommend it since you’re starting out. :)

I have a friend who’s learning Korean. She recently bought this book: https://amzn.to/2VZm0A8 and she’s quite happy with her purchase, so I think you might also want to check it out!
