A retelling of the Sleeping Beauty story for young readers, written in plain English by Priyangwada Perera and illustrated in colour throughout. The telling is kept simple and direct, pitched at children who are still being read to or who are just beginning to read a story for themselves.
It belongs to a series of fairy tales issued by M. D. Gunasena & Co. for children in Sri Lanka, each volume produced with a hardbound cover. The binding matters for a book of this kind: these are the pages that get turned at bedtime, again and again, by small hands.
M. D. Gunasena is a long-established Colombo publishing house and bookseller, with a list that covers schoolbooks and general titles in Sinhala and English. This is children's publishing from that tradition — familiar European fairy tale material, prepared and printed locally for Sri Lankan families and classrooms.
Suitable for a home shelf, a school or nursery library, or as a gift for a child who is being brought along in English. Readers putting together a set of the series will want it alongside the other titles.
