A retelling of the familiar fairy tale for young readers, written in English by Priyangwada Perera and illustrated throughout. It belongs to M.D. Gunasena's series of fairy tales, each volume taking a well-known story and presenting it afresh for a new generation of children.
The text is short and the pictures carry much of the telling, which suits reading aloud to a child as well as early independent reading. Parents and teachers looking for a picture book in English for a young child will find it straightforward in form: one story, told simply, with colour illustrations on the page.
M.D. Gunasena & Co. is a long-established Colombo publisher and bookseller producing titles in Sinhala and English, including schoolbooks and children's books. This fairy tale series sits in that children's list, and the volumes are designed to sit together on a shelf as a set.
