Media reviews

I was simply enthralled reading 'From Ceylon to Sri Lanka'. It is well written in easy to understand language and communicates a passionate love for our country and its people, its plantations, and its magnificent wildlife. I think this book should one day find its way to being a prescribed text book for all youngsters so that they can discern the truth about the glorious heritage that was Ceylon. -- Ned Dean, Canada
