The book series includes more than 60 modern fairy tales, from great names in Vietnamese literature, contemporary authors writing for children such as: Khai Hung, Ngoc Giao, To Hoai, Nguyen Huy Tuong, Pham Ho, Thy Hac, Vi Ho, Niem Loc, Ngo Quan Mien, Doan Minh Tuan, Xuan Quynh, Tran Hoai Duong, Nguyen Tri Cong, Tran Duc Tien, Nguyen Huong, Le Thi Kim Son...

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.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, this genre has been pioneered by romantic and realistic writers such as Khai Hung, Ngoc Giao, and Tham Tam.

Since 1945, many writers have continued to preserve and innovate 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.

The book series is not only a spiritual gift for children, but also a valuable resource for literary researchers, teachers and parents.

Dr. Le Nhat Ky is currently teaching at Quy Nhon University; member of the Vietnam Folk Arts Association.

He has published several research books on children's literature and folk literature, which have won several awards.
