Tales of an Enchanted Boyhood Alupola to Jaffna,1940 to 1960, by Dr. Philip G Veerasingam.
This re-call of times between the early years 1940 to 1960, covers
the boyhood years of the author. The early part of the book relives the scenes in a tea-estate in Rathnapura, Sri Lanka. The
latter half covers life in Jaffna. Various incidents of this period are related
with a sense of humor. The stories related will I am sure, pluck your
heart-strings. The way life was lived in the pre-plastic era and scenes of
rural life of this era, will take you back over half a century.
