A Sinhala translation of Pinocchio, the children's story by the Italian writer Carlo Collodi, prepared by S. Gunasekara and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co.
The text is entirely in Sinhala. International buyers should order it with that in mind: there is no English text alongside, and a reader will need Sinhala to follow the story. For Sri Lankan families abroad, it is a way of giving children a story they may already know in English in the language spoken at home, and it serves equally as graded reading for anyone studying Sinhala who already knows the plot and can lean on that familiarity.
Collodi's tale of the wooden puppet who wants to become a boy has long been part of children's reading well beyond Italy, and this edition places it among the Sinhala books written for young readers rather than treating it as a foreign curiosity.
