The Grimm story of the girl shut in a tower, retold in simple English for young readers by Priyangwada Perera. It belongs to a series of fairy tale books that M. D. Gunasena has produced for children in Sri Lanka, each taking a well-known tale and putting it into short, plain sentences a child can follow.
The telling is straightforward rather than elaborate, and the pages carry colour illustrations throughout. That combination suits children who are still being read to as well as those beginning to read a story on their own, and it suits parents and teachers who want a familiar tale in English at a level a young child will not stumble over.
M. D. Gunasena is an established Colombo publisher with a long presence in Sri Lankan educational and children's publishing, issuing books in Sinhala and English. This title sits in that children's list, offered alongside other fairy tales in the same series, so a child who takes to one can move on to the next with the same format and the same kind of language.
