A Sinhala children's book by Sybil Wettasinghe, published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. It has been part of Sri Lankan childhood reading for decades, and this printing carries fresh artwork drawn by Wettasinghe herself.
Wettasinghe wrote and illustrated for children in Sinhala, and her pictures are not decoration added to someone else's text — the drawing and the telling come from the same hand. That is worth knowing before you buy: the illustrations here are new work by the author rather than a reproduction of earlier plates.
The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation or parallel text. Buyers outside Sri Lanka should read it as a book for Sinhala-speaking households, for families raising children in the language abroad, or for readers building a collection of Sri Lankan children's literature in the original.
