Description: | inscription, handwritten, CEYLON
A handmade booklet of schoolwork titled 'Ceylon', made by Janet Smith of South Shields, about 1967-1968. Janet has drawn a coconut tree and a peacock on the front cover, and a tea picker on a plantation is illustrated on the back cover. Within Janet talks about being visited by a man from Ceylon called Mr Athisayan ("his skin was coloured brown so that we knew he was from a hot country") and she describes life in Ceylon, the climate, dress, forms of greeting, housing, agriculture and plantations, insects and animals.
