Modern Vietnamese fairy tales are new stories created with the spirit, structure and magic of folk fairy tales, but reflect the life, soul and human values of modern people.

Starting from the beginning of the 20th century, this genre was pioneered by romantic and realistic writers such as Khai Hung, Ngoc Giao, and Tham Tam. Since 1945, many writers have continued to preserve and renew this genre, typically Pham Ho, Ngo Quan Mien, Nguyen Huy Tuong, Tran Hoai Duong, and recently Nguyen Huong, Tran Duc Tien, and many young writers.

In the flow of Vietnamese children's literature, modern fairy tales play the role of a bridge between tradition and modernity. Modern fairy tales still preserve the spirit of folk fairy tales, with miracles, good-natured characters, and a causal ending, while at the same time, opening up a humane, equal, and creative perspective of people today.

These modern Vietnamese fairy tales are close friends of childhood, contributing to the formation of personality, development of language, imagination and ability to appreciate beauty of children. At the same time, they are also a valuable source of materials for education in schools: Teaching creative storytelling, sex education, gender equality, compassion and positive attitudes.

“For a long time, modern Vietnamese fairy tales have been introduced in a scattered manner, in anthologies of children's prose in general or by a specific author. With this anthology “Modern Vietnamese Fairy Tales”, readers for the first time have a systematic approach to the subject, fully covering the development and achievements of the genre as well as the contributions of each author to the country's children's literature”, said author and compiler Le Nhat Ky.

The book series "Modern Vietnamese Fairy Tales" is a spiritual gift for children, and at the same time a valuable resource for literary researchers, teachers and parents.
