The Llama Who Had A Hole Through His Head
The Llama Who Had A Hole Through His Head heralds an exciting new voice in the world of comic writing.

A young Peruvian sheep laments his unhappiness. A thespian experiences the highs and lows of Tinseltown. A bullied boy is granted three wishes by a fallen star. A famous detective is called upon to solve a curious and colourful case. A manicurist confronts a biblical colossus. A squirrel receives taxation advice from an unexpected source.
