Treasury of Vietnamese Folk Tales: Volume 1
Treasury of Vietnamese Folk Tales: Volume 1
An enchanting collection of 11 Vietnamese folk tales opening up a world where mountains whisper secrets, rivers carry ancient songs, and women are the heart of legend.
These stories place female characters at their centre — heroes, tricksters, warriors, and villains rather than passive figures — in a vibrant retelling of the classic collection by Nguyễn Đổng Chi, one of Vietnam's most celebrated folklorists.
Each tale is brought to life by 60 hand-drawn illustrations from award-winning artist Jeet Zdũng, evoking the rich craft tradition of Vietnamese folk art.
