This is a short Sinhala book built around Andare, the court figure held to have served in the royal household in an earlier period of Sri Lanka's past. The text is a single story told around that character, and like the wider body of Andare tales it works through humour and satire together — the joke carries a point.
Andare stories have long circulated in Sinhala as popular tales, and this volume presents one of them in book form under the title Gala Ussan. It is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co., an established Colombo publishing house.
The book is written entirely in Sinhala. There is no English text, so a reader will need Sinhala to follow it. Buyers abroad who read the language, families keeping Sinhala reading in the house, and anyone collecting Sinhala folk-tale titles are the readers it suits.
