A retelling of the life of King Dutugemunu, written for young children and told in a way that holds a child's attention. The account follows the king as a hero figure, and the publisher's intention is twofold: to give children an early grounding in the history, and to encourage courage and resolve in them from a young age.
The book is written entirely in Sinhala. International buyers should order it only if the reader has Sinhala — there is no English text in it, and the narrative, like the whole book, is in Sinhala throughout.
Lal Premanath De Mel is an author whose writing has been recognised with a state award. The book is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co., a long-established Colombo publishing house that produces school and general books in Sinhala and English.
Suited to Sinhala-speaking families abroad who want their children reading Sri Lankan history in their own language, and to parents and teachers looking for an early introduction to one of the figures central to the island's chronicles.
