A collection of Russian fairy tales brought into Sinhala by Tennyson Perera. The stories are rendered rather than summarised, with the publisher describing the aim as carrying the flavour of the original tales over into Sinhala intact.
The book is written entirely in Sinhala. There is no English text in it, so it will suit readers who read Sinhala comfortably — households keeping a Sinhala-language shelf abroad, parents reading aloud to children at home, or students and collectors of translated fiction in Sinhala. Buyers who do not read the script should know this before ordering.
Its publisher, M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, is a long-established Colombo house publishing in Sinhala and English, with a list that has long included books for younger readers alongside general trade titles.
Russian fairy tales have travelled widely in translation, and this volume is part of that movement into Sinhala. The publisher presents it as reading for all ages rather than for children alone.
