The Story Of A Vietnamese Cinderella (Tấm Cám)

Located in the heart of Hanoi, Sword Lake or Lake of the Returned Sword is one of the most beautiful spots in the city. The lake’s name is reminiscent of a historical legend of the resistance war led by Lê Lợi against the North’s invaders in the fifteenth century. A mystical sword had appeared when Lê Lợi and his army most needed it. The story tells about Le Loi's resistance war against the Ming army. During the arduous resistance war, Le Loi was lent a precious sword by Lord Long Quan, and when he ascended the throne, he returned this sword at Ta Vong Lake. From then on, the lake was named Sword Lake. The story is accompanied by vivid color illustrations, expressing the heroic spirit and desire for peace of the Vietnamese people. This Vietnamese nighttime story suits children 6 to 11 who transition to a new bed or sleep alone.
