A collection of proverbs gathered from many parts of the world, brought together by Wilson Kekulandala. Alongside each saying the book sets out a discussion of the proverb itself, and this commentary is presented in both Sinhala and English.
Buyers outside Sri Lanka should know that this is a Sinhala-language book. The sayings and the surrounding material are handled in Sinhala throughout, with English carried alongside in the discussion of each proverb, so a reader without Sinhala will find only part of the text open to them. It will suit readers of Sinhala with an interest in proverbs and figurative speech, and anyone comparing how similar ideas are phrased from one language to another.
The publisher is M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd of Colombo, a long-established Sri Lankan house publishing in Sinhala and English.
