ABOUT THE BOOK
In a work of around two hundred watercolours and drawings, with pencil notes recording his impressions and incidental encounters, the artist Robert Sedgley tells the story of his journey around the island of Sri Lanka. An informative text by Dr. K. D. Paranavitana provides an introduction and historical and cultural backgrounds to the six sections of the book; and with a foreword by the artist and writer Ashley Halpé.
