An abridged Sinhala retelling of Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson's story of a young man who sets out for an island with a treasure map in his hand — and finds that pirates are aboard the ship with him, and that they want the treasure too. Will he find what he is looking for? Will he fall into the pirates' hands? The book keeps those questions at the front of the telling.
The translation is by Premasiri Mahingoda, published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. as part of its Classics series, which brings well-known works of world literature into Sinhala in shortened form.
The text is entirely in Sinhala. International buyers should note this before ordering: there is no English text in the book. It suits readers of Sinhala, families raising children bilingually abroad who want familiar stories in the language, and Sinhala learners who already know the plot in English and want a shorter text to read against it.
