A children's story by Sybil Wettasinghe, the Sri Lankan artist and writer of books for young readers. The work first appeared in Sinhala; this is its Tamil translation, published by M. D. Gunasena & Co.
The text is in Tamil throughout, so buyers outside Sri Lanka should be clear that this is not an English-language book. It is a Tamil edition intended for children reading in that language, whether at home, in a classroom or in a family keeping the language alive abroad.
Wettasinghe wrote and illustrated stories for children over a long career, and her books have been a familiar part of growing up in Sri Lanka in both of the country's main reading languages. Translations such as this one carry her Sinhala storytelling across to Tamil-reading households, which is part of why her titles continue to be reissued.
Suitable for parents and teachers building a Tamil children's shelf, and for readers collecting Sri Lankan children's literature in translation.
