Folktales by Nguyen Nhat Anh and lìe lessons for children

Abstract

Nguyen Nhat Anh is a remarkable figure in contemporary Vietnamese children's literature. Among the hundreds of stories he has written for children, the genre of folktales make up only a small portion, yet it is enough to reveal the distinctive charm of a gifted writer with abundant creative spirit. Viewing children as the measure of life, each of Nguyen Nhat Anh's folktales imparts profound humanistic lessons, particularly for primary school students .
