A retelling of the familiar fairy tale for young children, written in English by Priyangwada Perera and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The story is told simply, in language pitched at children who are beginning to follow a narrative on their own or to listen to one read aloud.
The book belongs to a series of fairy tales issued by the publisher for children in Sri Lanka, each produced with a hardbound cover. Colour illustrations run through the volume alongside the text.
M. D. Gunasena is a long-established Colombo publisher and bookseller with a substantial list of school and children's titles in Sinhala and English, and this series sits within that part of its catalogue. For buyers outside Sri Lanka, it offers a locally produced edition of a story most children already meet in some form — the same tale, in a book made and printed for Sri Lankan readers.
Suitable for home reading, for a classroom shelf, or as a gift for a child just starting to read in English.
