Neither wholly British nor completely Indian, the young boy searches for his identity in the country where he was born; but at the same time, he struggles to create an identity for himself. Cunning and street wise, Kim is mature beyond his thirteen 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.\u003cbr\u003eFar above the average adventure story, Kim will captivate Kipling devotees as well as fans of tales brimming with foreign intrigue and treachery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNobel Laureate Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is best remembered for children's tales such as \u003ci\u003eThe Jungle Book\u003c\/i\u003e as well as his poetry and stories about British soldiers in India, which include Gunga Din and \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Would Be King. \u003c\/i\u003eKipling was enormously popular at the turn of the 20th century but his reputation declined with the change in attitude toward British imperialism.
