This is a Sinhala retelling of The Frog Prince, published by M. D. Gunasena as part of a series of fairy tale books made for young children in Sri Lanka. The story appears here under the title Gembi Kumara, told in simple, plain Sinhala rather than a literary register, which places it within reach of children who are still finding their way into reading.
The text is set alongside colour illustrations and printed on glossy paper. Hiruni Fernando is credited with the retelling.
The whole book is in Sinhala — the text is in Sinhala script throughout, with no English version alongside it. Buyers outside Sri Lanka should read that as a straightforward requirement: this is for a household where someone reads Sinhala aloud, or for a child learning the language with help. It suits families abroad keeping Sinhala alive at home, teachers working with early readers, and anyone assembling a shelf of Sinhala picture books for a young child.
M. D. Gunasena is a long-established Colombo publisher and bookseller with a substantial list of Sinhala-language books, including school and children's titles.
