A short story book for children in English, one of a later series written by the Sri Lankan author and illustrator Sybil Wettasinghe. It is set in large letters and runs to few pages, which the publisher intends for primary school readers, and it carries colour pictures throughout.
Wettasinghe wrote and illustrated children's books in Sinhala and English over a long career, and her picture books are a fixture of childhood reading in Sri Lanka. The drawing style — rounded figures, warm colour, village detail — is recognisable to anyone who grew up with her work, and parents abroad often buy her titles to give their own children something of the same.
This edition is in English and is published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. It suits a child beginning to read alone, or an adult reading aloud to a younger one. For Sri Lankan families living overseas, it is also a simple way to put a familiar name and a familiar way of drawing into a child's hands.
