A Sinhala children's book that sets out to bring Greek stories to young readers in Sri Lanka. The author's starting point is a simple one: Greek tales for children have not often reached Sinhala readers, and this collection is an attempt to go some way towards filling that gap.
The whole text is in Sinhala. There is no English in it, so it will suit readers who are comfortable in the language — children reading for themselves, or an adult reading aloud to them — rather than buyers looking for a translated edition.
Lal Premanath De Mel is a state award-winning Sinhala author. The book is published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co., a long-established Sri Lankan publishing house whose list includes schoolbooks and general titles in Sinhala and English.
For families abroad keeping up a child's Sinhala reading, or for anyone building a shelf of Sinhala children's writing, this is a straightforward addition: stories from the Greek tradition, told in Sinhala for a young audience.
