| Synopsis: |
The folk tales of the Vietnamese culture are extremely important, as they depict the creation of their people and their traditions. Here, some of the favorite tales of the Children of the Dragon are researched and retold for a modern audience with grace and a touch of humor. These colorful stories have been passed down for thousands of years as instructional tools, forms of entertainment, and depictions of character traits such as generosity and compassion. Ancient kings and dragon princes come to life, and legends of how the tiger obtained his stripes, the origins of monsoons, and the reason for the Moon Festival are told in enchanting illustrations that dance from page to page, providing a wonderful and masterful introduction to the history and culture of Vietnam. |
