Description: Kim by Rudyard Kipling Dell Laurel, 1965 Printing The novel takes place at a time contemporary to the book's publication; its setting is India under the British Empire. The title character is a boy of Irish descent who is orphaned and grows up in the streets of India, taken care of by a "half-caste" woman, a keeper of an opium den. Kim, an energetic and playful character, although full-blooded Irish, grows up as a "native" and acquires the ability to seamlessly blend into the many ethnic and religious groups of the Indian subcontinent. Kipling's account of Kim's travels throughout the subcontinent gave him opportunity to describe the many peoples and cultures that made up India, and a significant portion of the novel is devoted to such descriptions, which have been lauded as magical and visionary. Condition Notes: 1965 printing. Pages in unread, unmarked. Ownership inscription inside front cover from1968. Minor shelf wear to cover.
