Description:

This book by Ali Foad Touba, English redactor to the cabinet of the king of Egypt recounts his two voyage to Ceylon in 1921 and 1924. He went to Ceylon in the summer of 1921 to enjoy a long due summer holiday and he confesses that he never intended to write and account of it. But in the subsequent penning of this experiences he make it to be know that 'I have merely recorded things, and gotled down my impressions just as they have accused to me from cach time I self disposed to take up my pen. In other words, I have merely brought out in print what might have conveyed in conversation, in a frank and natural way, unbounded by convention to any friend wishing to partake of my experiences in this lovely land'.
