About this book

Two hundred and sixty-six folk tales collected from Sinhala villagers by an irrigation engineer who spent thirty years in the dry zone, translated with notes on where each tale is told and its parallels in India and beyond. Three volumes, and still the largest collection of Sri Lankan village stories in English.
