Publisher's Synopsis
In these fifteen stories of adventure, love, betrayal, and self-realization, Zen master and best-selling author Thich Nhat Hanh transports the reader to old Vietnam. This anthology contains traditional and historical legends as well as some new folktales inspired by Vietnam's more recent past. Each story subtly and gently invokes some of Thich Nhat Hanh's key themes: cooperation, reconciliation, mindfulness, and the profound realization of the interconnectedness of all beings. For people of all ages and traditions.
