This small, and very informative work is a collection of observations, and study that the author made during 6 excursions to these ruins in Sri Lanka. The chapters note the Bo tree; the Tuparama monastery; the Uposatha ruins; Dakkina dagaba; Tisa Wewa; Jetavanarama; the tooth relic; Elara's tomb; rock house monastery; Abhayagiri; Kiribat Vehara; Nuwerab Wewa; the great cemetery; Mihintale; Ambasthale; Kalu Diya Pokuns, etc. There are 12 photographs, and a map of Anuradhapura's ruins in this work, which was first published in 1939
