Tấm Cám

Tấm and Cám

Vietnam's best-loved fairy tale, retold in simple graded Vietnamese: gentle Tấm, her cruel stepmother and jealous half-sister Cám, a magic goby fish in the well, and one embroidered shoe that finds its way to the king. Even when her enemies destroy her, Tấm keeps coming back — as a golden bird, a tree, a loom, a fragrant fruit — until the truth comes out. Sixteen chapters that carry you from A1 to A2.
