Associate Professor Vu Ngoc Khanh - who participated in collecting and selecting this book shared: When it comes to Vietnamese legendary stories, readers are quite familiar with "Linh Nam Chich Quai", "Viet Dien U Linh", so the stories that are already in the above books will not appear in this book... The compilers have gathered from many different sources, selecting stories with quite strong legendary elements, so that readers can better understand this genre of writing and compilation.
Besides bringing readers, especially children, interesting and attractive stories, the book is a reference source to help readers better understand the genre of legendary stories through the development stages of Vietnamese literary history.
Vietnamese legends are a genre of written literature, focusing on exploiting strange, fantastic motifs, the characters are ancient Vietnamese heroes who are legendary, deified, of epic stature, or characters that only appear in the imagination such as saints, gods, fairies, demons, evil spirits, animals, trees... with unpredictable transformations and even human lives existing around us.
By using fantasy elements as a way to convey content, legends always create a strong appeal to all ages, all times, especially children.
