"I am Kim. I am Kim. And what is Kim?' His soul repeated it again and again. Kimball Kim O Hara, an Irish orphan, leads a hand-to-mouth existence. He begs on the streets of Lahore, British India and runs small errands for Mahbub Ali, a horse trader and spy. One day, when he befriends an old Tibetan lama who is on a quest to find the legendary and sacred River of the Arrow, Kim becomes his disciple and follows him on his quest to attain enlightenment.

What happens as they journey together along the Grand Trunk Road and learn about the Great Game? A riveting coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the Anglo-Russian rivalry in Central Asia at the end of the nineteenth century, Rudyard Kipling s Kim is a timeless classic. It has undergone several film and television adaptations and continues to remain noteworthy."
