If, as I am glad to be assured, myprevious works on Ceylon have contributed in some measure to this end, I trustthe more popular form of the present work will still further promote the objectwhich I have in view. This popular volume is widely available as a reprint however first edition copies are rarely available for sale. Containing many photographs, this once travel guide now provides a fascinating insight into thehistory of this beautiful island. With many original photographs anddescriptions of the island unavailable elsewhere. A must have book for any SriLankan enthusiast.
