This is a short book in Sinhala, written for readers of Sinhala only — there is no English text in it. Buyers outside Sri Lanka should order it with that in mind.
It carries a single story built around Andare, the figure held to have lived at the royal court in Sri Lanka in an earlier age. The Andare stories work through humour, and the humour carries a satirical edge; that is the register this one belongs to.
Andare is a familiar name in Sinhala storytelling, and tales of his quick answers and his dealings at court have circulated in Sri Lanka for generations. A slim title of this kind sits with that body of popular story rather than with scholarship on it.
