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.
Few people in Laos have ever read an enjoyable story in their own language. With this collection of three Sherlock Holmes tales, Lao readers can discover a pleasure that others in the world have long taken for granted.
by Arthur Conan Doyle, illustrated by Ounla Santi

Watson, I think I've discovered why Lao people used to have a reputation for not reading. There just weren't enough interesting books!
