For many centuries, Lanka was called Sihaladipa, the island of the Sihala, the people of the lion. This is the magnificent story of Anuradhapura, the greatest Asian Buddhist city of ancient times, and the proud capital of the lion kings of Lanka. In Children of the Lion, Carl Muller retells the conquest of Lanka by Sihabahu and Sihasivali's eldest son, the disgraced and banished Vijaya. Continuing this monumental saga, richly embedded in myth and legend, City of the Lion, the second book in the series, carries the Sinhala race's story forward.

The book recreates the lion people's return to Anuradhapura after the bold and reckless Sinhala prince, Duttha Gamani, waged war and slew the usurping Damila king, Elara, who had ruled their precious city for 44 years. The city, where Duttha Gamani built the most enduring monuments of Buddhism, grew, flourished, and the edifices of Buddhist glory rose to become the wonders of the East.

A chronicle that shook an entire island for generations. A moon darker than the new moon. A compass, preserved through the ages, and a destiny placed upon the shoulders of a nine-year-old girl—strengthened by four drops of wisdom. For no soul is ever given a burden greater than they can bear...

"Chuty's Diary" is a true story and will appeal to both children and adults.

"Having lived in Sri Lanka for twenty years, it's been impossible to avoid the plight of injured animals. When I found out about Chuty, I was inspired by her rescuers' empathy to write her story. "Chuty's Diary" tells of amazing human kindness, disability, inclusion, acceptance and love. My passion and aim is to help change attitudes towards injured animals and contribute to their care." - Valerie Walker.

“Chubby Cheeks and Growing Pains” is part of a series that explores traumatic life situations a child may go through. These include the passing away of a parent, dealing with parents’ separation, bullying, and the topic of this book, which is the birth of a new brother or sister.

Every story in this series gently holds the child’s hand and helps them navigate the confusing and distressing times that they find themselves in. In our beautiful but imperfect world, I hope these books, through the magic of storytelling in the haven of home and family, help protect and nurture our children's mental and emotional well-being.

The tales are lyrical and flow rhythmically, soothingly and calmly. This labour of love is for all our beautiful, brave children and their parents and guardians.

Retired sportswriter WG Karunasena is dying. He will spend his final months drinking arrack, making his wife unhappy, ignoring his son and tracking down Pradeep S. Mathew, a spin bowler who has mysteriously disappeared and who WG considers 'the greatest cricketer to walk the earth'.

On his quest to find this unsung genius, WG uncovers a coach with six fingers, a secret bunker below a famous stadium, a Tamil Tiger warlord, and startling truths about Sri Lanka, cricket and himself.

Ambitious, playful and strikingly original, Chinaman is a novel about cricket and Sri Lanka - and the story of modern-day Sri Lanka through its most cherished sport. Hailed by the Gratiaen Prize judges as 'one of the most imaginative works of contemporary Sri Lankan fiction', it is an astounding book.
