What it's about

In Old Ceylon is a travelogue by Reginald John Farrer, capturing his impressions of colonial-era Sri Lanka in the early 20th century. Blending botanical interest with vivid descriptions, Farrer explores the island’s landscapes, culture, and people. His observations reflect both the aesthetic appreciation of a naturalist and the biases of his time. The book offers a unique, if dated, window into the flora, colonial life, and scenic beauty of Ceylon, richly conveyed through Farrer's literary and often witty prose.
