Description

About the Book: - The author made a good attempt to supply a want which has long been felt by those who are teaching young children in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) to prepare both the volumes. All kids love a story. Though there are many stories which may fairly be considered to belong to all races and all countries, there are others which only come home to the people of a particular race or country. It is surely unnatural that Sinhalese children, should be brought up on stories about King Alfred or Robert Bruce, and should have no familiar associations connected with Sita or Duttu-Gemunu. It is to meet this want that the author has told in simple language some of the tales of Old Ceylon, starting with the fine old story of Rama, which belongs to Ceylon no less than to India in these books. So, both the volumes are good who are teaching children, and shall be glad to see it in use as a reader in schools.
