Set in the days of the British Raj, Kipling’s finest novel is the exciting and touching tale of how an Irish orphan Kim, whose father was an Irish soldier, makes his living by begging on the streets of Lahore and running errands.

An aged Tibetan Lama is on a journey to find the mythical “River of the Arrow” and in doing so free himself from the Wheel of Things. Becoming his disciple, Kim joins the Lama to travel along the Grand Trunk Road. Kim later enrolls in the Indian Service and simultaneously embarks on an espionage mission of supreme importance. Kim gets involved in the Great Game, –Russia and Britain’s political conflict in Central Asia, and is given a task by the British - to carry a message to Umballa’s British commander.

A thrilling climax in the Himalayas occurs when the two quests become entangled. Kim’s search for identity is staged within one of the most magnificent and affectionate portrayals of Indian culture in literature.
