One title in a Sinhala series that retells the Mahadenamutta stories with new illustrations. The old village sage and his pupils are familiar to Sinhala readers of every age, and these retellings put the tales back into circulation in a fresh form for a new set of children.
The story here turns on the search for one of Mahadenamutta's pupils, who has gone missing. Hingulwala Dissanayake writes the text; the book is published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co.
Please note that the book is written entirely in Sinhala. There is no English text, so buyers outside Sri Lanka should be reading Sinhala, or buying for a child or family member who does. For Sri Lankan families abroad, this kind of illustrated folk retelling is often how children first meet the characters their parents grew up with, and the pictures carry a good deal of the telling.
Suited to younger readers and to adults reading aloud, as well as to anyone keeping a shelf of Sinhala children's books outside the country.
