Summary: Lyrical! Beautifully written.
Comment: These are the first myths from Vietnam I've ever read, so I can't compare the tales to the standard. The stories range from creation myths to tales of wars and food/custom myths. The writing is clear and lyrical. I was captivated, and enjoyed a break from the more familiar Greek myths and French fairy tales I know.
This book is also beautifully illustrated. Highly recommended if you are into comparative mythology or just enjoy a well told story.

Summary: Fantastic book giving insight into Vietnamese culture
Comment: This is a must read for those growing up in the shadow of the Vietnam war. The majoriy of american society only knows the negatives of Vietnamese people: the war that was a failure, the people whom didn't appreciate that our soldiers died for them, those poor people who have nothing and need our pitty, those people who come to America, form gangs, and live off of our government. These are the views of Vietnam. 'A Taste of Earth' makes the people of Vietnam people first with culture, beliefs, joys, sorrow--and most importantly, looks at Vietnamese people in a postive light! Also, interestingly, many of the stories have a similarity to Native American myths and legends--coincidence
