As I mentioned in a previous post I have started reading Kim by Rudyard Kipling.
But who is Kim?
Well I have so far discovered that he is the son of a man in the British Army who dies leaving Kim with almost nothing. Kim grows up to be a bazaar-boy who seems to get involved with British intelligence and a Tibetan lama who is on a quest to be redeemed from the Wheel of Life. And it's set in India at the time of the Raj. So far I like.
Note to self - it wouldn't be a bad thing to acquire some historical knowledge of this time.
