About this listen

Set in the days of the British Raj, Kipling's finest novel is the exciting and touching tale of an Irish orphan-boy who has lived free in the streets of Lahore before setting out, with a Tibetan Lama, on a spiritual quest. Kim later enrolls in the Indian Service and simultaneously embarks on an espionage mission of supreme importance. A thrilling climax in the Himalayas occurs when the two quests become entangled. Kim's search for identity is staged within one of the most magnificent and affectionate portrayals of Indian culture in literature.

A great story, beautifully read - really captures the atmosphere of India at that time (from a contemporary Englishman's view of course). I have listened to it several times and will listen again.

Wonderful

I have another performance of Kim and I have heard others but this is brilliant. Madhav Sharma can slip from British of the Raj to native accents with an ease that is breath taking. So easy that you do not notice after the first time. I highly recommend this recording.

Best performance ever

Very well narrated. Great classic story of India. Keeps you wanting more, well thought out characters.

Great classic

Kim is a great story and always worth reading. That Kipling loved India is very clear from this story.
The narrator is perfect for the story and gives a little 'Indian' touch to the speech of the Indian characters.

Great narration, great story

Madhav Sharma's rendering is perfect for this classic. The narrator's skill enhances my enjoyment of the book tremendously. I wish Audible would provide a British version of Stalky and Co, another favorite of mine...

Perfect performance for the book.
