As a child of the Raj, Rudyard Kipling became famous for tales of Indian life, such as Kim and The Jungle Book in which the country is described with a detail, love and colour which have never been surpassed. Kipling wrote verse in every classical form from the epigram to the ode, but his most distinctive gift was for the songs and stories in which he presents memorable characters, often speaking in their own voices. Said to be the most quoted English poet after Shakespeare, he articulated profound truths and subtle states of mind in colloquial language. His work darkened in later years but never lost its extraordinary vitality. All aspects of his verse are represented in this selection, from party pieces such as ‘Mandalay’ and ‘If ’, to the powerful epigrams he produced in response to World War I.

With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex. Kim is Rudyard Kipling's finest work. Now controversial, this novel is a memorably vivid evocation of the life and landscapes of India in the late nineteenth century. Kim himself is a resourceful lad who befriends a lama, an ageing priest; and both embark on a combined quest. Whereas Kim has an insatiable interest in the varied activities around him, the lama seeks redemption from the 'Wheel of Life'. Kim becomes involved in the 'Great Game&rsquo:, undertaking espionage for the British rulers. This engrossing and moving novel, with its diversity of memorable characters, offers many insights into political, religious and social tensions.

The novel is notable for its detailed portrait of the people, culture, and varied religions of India. "The book presents a vivid picture of India, its teeming populations, religions, and superstitions, and the life of the bazaars and the road."
