Vietnamese tales
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
These five stories have so many similarities to European tales it is uncanny. They are well told and different enough to make you think about the cultural differences. I think the book is great for any reader aged 7 and up, especially anyone interested in reading some Asian, or specifically Vietnamese, folktales. And the few illustrations are intricate and very well done.
Wonderfully entertaining for all children young and old!!

This is a very enjoyable storybook. The most interesting thing I discovered about it, is the traditional stories that I grew up with, being told in a Vietnamese setting. Very enjoyable, and I look forward to reading to my young girls these stories they know so well in another format!
