A collection of folk tales drawn from a number of different countries, gathered into a single volume by Sriya Ratnakara and put together specifically for children.
The book is written entirely in Sinhala. There is no English text and no parallel translation, so it will suit readers who are comfortable reading Sinhala, or families raising children in the language abroad and looking for story material in it. Parents and grandparents reading aloud to younger children are the likely audience; older children reading independently in Sinhala are another.
Folk tales from elsewhere in the world, retold in Sinhala for a Sri Lankan readership, occupy a steady place in children's publishing here, and this title belongs to that line of work. The stories come from various countries rather than from a single national tradition.
The publisher is M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a long-established Colombo house that publishes in Sinhala and English, with a substantial children's and educational list.
