A story for children, told in Sinhala. The owner of a young cat decides she should be married, and sets out to find the strongest husband he can for her. He looks at one powerful candidate after another, and in the end understands that the best match of all is a cat — so he marries her to a cat.
The shape of the tale will be familiar to anyone who knows folk stories in which a search for the mightiest bridegroom circles back to where it began. Sybil Wettasinghe, who wrote it, is among the Sri Lankan writers and illustrators whose picture books have been read by generations of Sinhala-speaking children, and her work is a staple of home and classroom bookshelves on the island.
Buyers outside Sri Lanka should note that the text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation. It suits households raising children in Sinhala abroad, learners reading at an early level, and readers collecting Wettasinghe's work in the original language.
