(What is this?)Product Description
From the Author
My first night in Sri Lanka was spent at the now venerable but then rather run-down, Galle Face Hotel in Colombo, after a long and tiring BA flight from London in 1980. I wanted a change from London's greyness. I knew nothing about the country beyond it being, as Ceylon, the source of magical Pure Ceylon Tea, and, as Sri Lanka, the birthplace of some young cricketers who played pluckily in the world cup at Lords in the 1970s.
From Colombo I journeyed throughout the island. I was captivated and immediately contrived to settle there, spending my time writing novels set in Sri Lanka and magazine articles extolling what I see as the island's delights.
My book, SRI LANKA, is based on my knowledge of the island gained over the years. I don't recommened everything and everywhere in this guide, nor do I encourage 'rip-off' tourism where visitors take advantage of Sri Lankans' courteous hospitality. I hope the guide will lead readers to a gentle appreciation of this most rewarding and varied of the world's exotic countries. I invite you to share my joy. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
