A ripping yarn. One of my dad’s favourite books. Although I had seen the old film a few times this was another book unread. I found the film following the storyline fairly well albeit that Errol Flynn ( Mahbub Ali) had less of a role in the book. The relationship between Kim and the lama is so well written. The book ending is better than the films. The story of a young Indian boy with an English soldier father working as a spy in the 1890’s is real Boys Own material. Loved it

There are in fact several film version of Kipling's Kim, each complimenting the novel from a somewhat different angle. This is one of my favorite books & it was one that Mark Twain said he read annually.

The 2 versions of Kipling's Kim I've watched both have appeal but I seem to recall preferring watching Peter O'Toole & a rather charming biracial child as "Kim" to the older version with Erroll Flynn.
