A shopkeeper mysteriously gets, then loses, a well-paying job -- simply because he has red hair. Childlike drawings of dancing men seem like a foolish prank -- until they turn deadly.
These adventures of Sherlock Holmes have entertained readers around the world for over a century. Here in Laos, students learning English get their practice from English books that are dull and often ungrammatical.
With Sherlock's help, we're going to solve that problem. We've simplified the text of three Sherlock Holmes stories, for this first book in what will become a bilingual series about the famous detective.
by Arthur Conan Doyle, illustrated by Ounla Santi
