‘This is a brief life, but in its brevity, it offers us some splendid moments, some meaningful adventures.’
Kimball O’Hara is a young orphan detective who lives in British India in the late 19th century. A street-smart child, he is fluent in several languages and recruited by the British Secret Service to help them gather intelligence on the Russian Empire.
Little Kim begins his journey across India, and he encounters a wide variety of people and cultures. He meets a Tibetan lama, a Hindu holy man, and a Pashtun tribesman.
Through his travels in the jungles, cities and the vibrant culture of India, Kim begins to explore what home means to him, is it in the sense of belonging he finds with the Lama so far away from his birthland?
Through his coming-of-age story, Kim’s adventures pay a homage to the inclusive, vibrant, and culturally diverse land of India.

About Author
Rudyard Kipling was a British author best known for his children’s books including The Jungle Book and is regarded as one of the most important contributors to the short story form. Rudyard Kipling was born on December 30, 1865, in Bombay, India where his father, John Lockwood Kipling was an artist and teacher of architectural sculpture at the Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy School of Art. He spent the first six of his life in India, where he was cared for by an Indian nanny, whom he later referred to as his ‘very dear friend’ who inspired many of his stories. Kipling returned to India in 1882, where he worked as a journalist and began to establish himself as a writer. Throughout his life, Kipling travelled extensively and lived in various countries and all of those experiences reflected in his work. His writing was highly popular in his time, and it earned him several awards and honours including the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907.
