Joseph Rudyard Kipling 30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936 was an English journalist novelist poet and short-story writer. He was born in British India which inspired much of his work. Kipling's works of fiction include the Jungle Book duology The Jungle Book 1894; The Second Jungle Book 1895 Kim 1901 the Just So Stories 1902 and many short stories including "The Man Who Would Be King" 1888.2 His poems include "Mandalay" 1890 "Gunga Din" 1890 "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" 1919 "The White Man's Burden" 1899 and "If—" 1910. He is seen as an innovator in the art of the short story. His children's books are classics; one critic noted "a versatile and luminous narrative gift". Kipling in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was among the United Kingdom's most popular writers. In 1907 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature as the first English-language writer to receive the prize and at 41 its youngest recipient to date. He was also sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and several times for a knighthood but declined both. Following his death in 1936 his ashes were interred at Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey. The literary critic Douglas Kerr wrote: “Kipling is recognized as an incomparable if controversial interpreter of how empire was experienced. That and an increasing recognition of his extraordinary narrative gifts make him a force to be reckoned with."

Kim is a picaresque novel by English author Rudyard Kipling. It was first published serially in McClure's Magazine from December 1900 to October 1901 as well as in Cassell's Magazine from January to November 1901 and first published in book form by Macmillan & Co. Ltd in October 1901. 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." The story unfolds against the backdrop of the Great Game the political conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia. The novel popularized the phrase and idea of the Great Game. The story is set after the Second Anglo-Afghan War which ended in 1881 and before the Third 1919 probably in the period of 1893 to 1898. Kimball O'Hara was a child like many others living on the streets of India in the early 1900s. That was until he befriended a Buddhist lama and became his disciple. The story of Kim follows our cheeky fun-loving hero as he journeys across northern India - from Lahore to the vast beauty of the Himalayan mountains - in the company of the lama. The two of them have different goals but the physical paths they follow are very similar. Before leaving Lahore Kim is entrusted by one of his father's friends to deliver a very special message. Through this he meets a member of the British Secret Service and discovers secrets he couldn't have imagined. As the story progresses and his journey continues Kim begins to learn more and more about what is known as the Great Game. As we follow Kim we see him transformed from a simple vagabond into a sharpened operative in the dangerous world of politics betrayal and death. All the excitement of Kim's adventures takes place in the backdrop of a beautiful country full of amazing sights incredible sounds and an extremely rich culture. In what is considered by many to be Kipling's finest work he draws on his own experiences of living in India to tell an unforgettable and action-packed story within a vivid and accurate setting.
