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 made it to be know that I have merely recorded things, and jotted down my impressions just an they have occured to me from each 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’. This book is a reprint of the 1926 edition.
