A collection of stories drawn from Sri Lanka's history, retold for young children. Padmini Perera gathers several lesser-known episodes — the kind that sit at the edges of the usual school account — and sets them down as short narratives for a child reader.
The book is written entirely in Sinhala. There is no English text, so it suits households where a child is reading in Sinhala, whether at school in Sri Lanka or keeping the language up abroad. For families outside the country, a Sinhala storybook on a familiar subject is often more useful for reading practice than a textbook, because the child wants to know what happens next.
It is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a long-established Colombo house publishing in Sinhala and English, with a substantial list for schools and younger readers. Suitable for primary-age children reading independently, and for reading aloud to those who are not yet there.
