Title: Kipling's Classic novel : KIM
Review: In my personal opinion, this Rudyard Kipling classic is one of the finest historical novels ever written. Though it has been made into videos & books for juveniles, it is actually a subtle adult piece of literature. It was Kipling who coined therein the phrase:"The Great Game". History repeats itself, as now America has replaced England in this spider web set in India & the high mountain passes leading to Central Asia. As always, Kipling helps us to stand back & laugh at our human foibles, while yet being dead serious.Had I the funds, I would have preferred a better quality edition, as I plan to keep this for re-reading. This is a cheap edition, with print too close to the inner margins --- very stiff & annoying to hold open.
