Ceylon The Paradise Of Adam: The Record Of Seven Years' Residence In The Island

The author trying to portray the beautiful ambience of lush countryside of the Sri Lanka through the character of a lady, named Cynthia in the pursuit of justifying the title. During her staying at the Emerald Isle, she has to pass through the stages of lots of ups and downs and the ordeals she might have been gone through. About sunset, jackals, porcupines, peacocks, wild cats and cheetahs would emerge from the jungle and take a look at the caravan, but they appeared more frightened far than the human occupants. The double-bullock cart which served as the gipsy-caravan, the eye-catching waterfall and the scenic beauty surrounded by the sea water depicted the true story of a protagonist, who enjoyed her life with full throttle by hobnobbing with the customs and culture of this island. The subject of the book with scenic illustrations is very illuminating and delicate. Though the book is a rare one, it may be recognized even by those who dissent from the author’s views.
