Cunning and streetwise, Kim is mature beyond his 13 years and learns to move chameleon-like between the two cultures, becoming the disciple of a Tibetan monk while training as a spy for the British secret service. Far above the average adventure story, Kim will captibate Kipling fans as well as others of tales brimming with foreign intrigue and treachery.
