The subject is crows — the birds most people in Sri Lanka see every day and rarely look at twice. Captain Elmo Jayawardena wrote the original in English, under the title Kakiyan, and Professor Theekshana Suraweera has translated it into Sinhala.
It is a simple story about the crows we encounter constantly. Most people regard the crow as a nuisance and leave it at that. Jayawardena writes about them with sympathy and a sense of wonder instead, describing the life they lead and offering a fresh and observant way of looking at a bird that is usually dismissed.
International buyers should know that the text is in Sinhala throughout. This is the translated edition, intended for Sinhala readers; anyone wanting the English wording will want Jayawardena's original rather than this book.
The publisher is M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a Colombo house publishing in Sinhala and English.
