Kim
Rudyard Kipling

Before Tintin, there was Kim. The orphan son of an Irish soldier, Kim lives on the streets of Lahore, India during British rule. Kim befriends a Tibetan Lama and joins him on a quest to find the River of the Arrow and free himself from the Wheel of Things. During his travels across India, Kim is enlisted as a spy in the conflict between Britain and Russia around the time of the Afghan wars in the late 1800s. Kipling's masterpiece is a great adventure story for adults and children alike. -Andrew
