61 Illustrated Moral Fables from Sri Lankan Village Life
Sri Lankan children's fables
No reviews yetSaumya Aloysius wrote a weekly story for The Sunday Morning Little Stars for nearly two years, never missing a deadline. Each one carries a moral, set in the village life, tea estates, and jungle roads of Sri Lanka rather than a generic storybook backdrop.
“It never ceases to amaze me how he finds goodness in every challenging situation within his tales,” writes his editor, Kusumanjalee Thilakarathna, in the book's foreword. “His short story collection ‘Two Windows One Sky’ serves as a valuable reminder for adults as well” as for children.
Two Windows, One Sky collects 61 of those stories, each with its own illustration — from a strict but kind village teacher to a colony of cranes standing up to two eagles.
