My Favourite Writer..❤

     In my free  time I like to read books as a habit. Reading books relaxes my mind and gives me new knowledge. 😊

        So I have been in the habit of reading books since I was ten years old. I have gained a lot of knowledge because of books.  One of the best novelists I met while reading books was Martin Wickramasinghe.  

        In fact, he was the best novelist of my life.  Mr. Martin Wickramasinghe was born in the Southern Province. I do not know because he is familiar with the province. I like to read his books.

        

       His full name is Lama Hewage Don Martin Wickramasinghe.. commonly know him as Martin Wickramasinghe.    Wickramasinghe was born on 29 May 1890, in the town of koggala  in galle district as the only son of Lamahewage Don Bastian Wickramasinghe  and Magalle Balapitiya Liyanage Thochchohamy     

  

    At the age of five Wickramasinghe was taught the sinhala alphabet at home and in the village temple, by a monk, Andiris Gurunnanse. He also learned the Devanagari script and could recite by memory long sections of the hotopadesha.. 

       After two years he was taken to a vernacular school where he prospered until 1897 when he was sent to an English school in galle Bonawista .   In the two years spent at the school Wickramasinghe became fluent in English as well as Latin. When his father died in 1901, he returned to a vernacular school in Ahangangama.
