Andare, the wit of the royal court, is one of the stock figures of Sinhala folk storytelling — the jester whose quick answers and tricks have been retold to children and adults alike for generations. This collection by V.D. De Lenarol gathers a sequence of those stories, and also includes verses associated with the Andare character, which sets it apart from a plain retelling of the tales alone.
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, families keeping the language alive at home, and buyers abroad looking for Sinhala-language folk material for children and older readers.
It is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a long-established Colombo publishing house whose list covers Sinhala and English titles, including schoolbooks and general reading.
