This review is from: Madol Doova (Paperback)
First published in 1947, this is the story of a seriously naughty Sri Lankan lad. With an unloving stepmother, young Upali prefers to be off having adventures in the company of his friend Jinna.
Breaking into houses with his gang, dressing up as 'Veddahs' (Sri Lankan aboriginal people) and shooting at folk with a bow and arrow and scrumping cadju fruit from a monk's garden, he is the despair of his father.
Then fearing he'll be sent away, he and Jinna escape to the uninhabited (and allegedly ghost-filled) island of Madol Doova, where they start to show true responsibility...
Enjoyable read.
Lots of misprints.
Purchased direct from Sri Lankan bookshop online - very cheap, even with p & p and arrived in a week!… (más)
