A collection of short biographical accounts of kings who ruled in Sri Lanka, compiled by P.M. Senarathna. Each account gathers the basic information about its subject — the period in which he reigned and the work he did during it — and sets it out concisely rather than at length.
The book is written entirely in Sinhala, with no English text, so reading knowledge of Sinhala is needed. Buyers ordering from outside Sri Lanka should be clear on that point before adding it to a basket.
It is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a Colombo publishing house of long standing whose list covers Sinhala-language general and educational titles. The treatment here is summary in character: readers who want a brief account of a given ruler, arranged as a sequence of individual lives, are the natural audience, as are students and general readers approaching the island's royal history through its figures rather than through a continuous narrative.
