This is a Tamil-language edition. The text throughout is in Tamil, so a reader will need Tamil to follow it — worth knowing before ordering from outside Sri Lanka.
The story was created by Sybil Wettasinghe, the Sri Lankan artist and writer of children's stories, and first appeared in Sinhala. What is offered here is the Tamil translation of that original work, published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo.
Wettasinghe wrote and illustrated for children across a long working life, and her books have been a fixture of Sri Lankan childhood reading in Sinhala. Editions in Tamil carry that work across to the island's other main reading public, and they are also of interest to Tamil-reading families abroad who want their children's shelves to hold something from Sri Lanka rather than only imported picture books.
Suited to young readers and to anyone collecting Wettasinghe's titles, including readers who already know the Sinhala original and want the Tamil alongside it.
