About the Book:
Laakhi is a Russian short story based on a pet dog’s perception of her life. Her getting lost in the hustle bustle of the city, finding a new owner, getting trained for a circus and finding her old master back. Needless to say, brilliantly written. Chekov after all. Kids will love it, when told animatedly. As a child, I used to have a book of Russian short stories. I wonder why all Russian short stories have this element of sadness to them. hmmm…
