520 $aFor many readers throughout the twentieth century, children and adults alike, Kim was India. Kim ́s world was a land of gripping suspense and perilous adventure: of romance and intrigue, of exotic sights and tastes, smells, and sounds; of hot, dusty roads, crowded bazaars; and cool, pine-covered mountains.The orphaned Kim O ́Hara, growing up more or less unsupervised on the streets of Lahore, is a child ́s dream of a romantic Everyman. With no real authority set over him and yet apparently quite capable of surviving and even thriving in what should be a life of hardship, Kim ́the ́Little Friend of all the World, ́ as the Afghan horse-trader and British agent Mahbub Ali names him ́is able to roam as he will, free from limitations of race and caste, to learn from a wealth of father-figures and mentors. Companion and guide on a Tibetan lama ́s spiritual quest and foot soldier in training for the ́Great Game ́ of espionage, Kim is able to choose and shape his own destiny in a world that is utterly familiar and known to the protagonist. He moves through this world with enviable surety and grace, to become not only an adult, but also one of heroic potential.
