the mountain, the flower, the tree. Sixteen more Vietnamese folk tales, gathered and retold
for readers everywhere - stories that have traveled from
grandmother to grandchild for generations, carried through
rice paddies, riverbanks, and quiet village fires. Inside, you'll meet the carp who leapt through the Dragon
small to matter, and too devoted to give up. The Kitchen
Gods who still watch over every Vietnamese hearth today.
A hundred-knot bamboo that turned a broken promise into
justice. Some of these tales are gentle. Others carry a harder
edge - toward greed, broken vows, and the grief of
understanding too late what we owed someone. All of them
hold the same quiet truth: devotion outlasts almost
everything, and the land remembers what people, in their
hurry, sometimes forget. This is Volume 2 in the Real Vietnam: Legends series.
Volume 1 is also available - each collection stands
complete on its own. Mr Giang retells the folk tales of Vietnam the way he
first heard them - around family tables, from elders who
believed these stories still had something to teach. He
lives and writes independently, and considers every
reader who picks up one of these tales part of the same
fireside audience the stories were always meant for. Read slowly. Let each story settle before reaching for
the next.
