A children's book by Sybil Wettasinghe, the Sri Lankan artist and writer of children's stories. It first appeared in Sinhala; this is the Tamil translation of that original, published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. in Colombo.
The text is entirely in Tamil. Buyers outside Sri Lanka should order it with that in mind: there is no English text alongside, so it suits a Tamil-reading child, a parent or teacher reading aloud in Tamil, or a household keeping the language alive abroad.
Wettasinghe wrote and illustrated for children throughout her working life, and her books are familiar to generations of Sri Lankan readers in Sinhala. Translations such as this one carry her stories across to Tamil-speaking children on the island and elsewhere.
Of interest to families building a Tamil-language picture book shelf, to libraries and schools collecting Sri Lankan children's literature, and to readers who already know Wettasinghe's work in Sinhala or English and want this title in Tamil.
