A work for children by Cumaratunga Munidasa, the Sinhala scholar and writer honoured with the title Helaye Maha Isi, the great sage of the Hela. It was written for young readers and has stayed in their hands since, read by one generation of Sri Lankan children after another.
The text is in Sinhala throughout. There is no English translation or parallel text here, so this is a book for readers of Sinhala — families raising children in the language abroad, students of Sinhala literature, and collectors building a shelf of Cumaratunga's writing in the original. Buyers who do not read the script should know that before ordering.
Cumaratunga Munidasa wrote across grammar, criticism, verse and children's literature, and his name carries particular weight in debates about Sinhala usage. His children's writing is where many Sri Lankans first encounter him, often long before they meet the grammarian. Hin Seraya belongs to that side of his work.
