Description

Kimball O’Hara grows up on the streets of Lahore, an Irish orphan who belongs everywhere and nowhere. He falls in with a Tibetan lama seeking enlightenment, and with the Great Game that sets British and Russian spies across India. Journey by journey he is pulled between friendship and empire, spiritual longing and the work of intrigue. Kipling’s adventure of identity and loyalty: a boy who learns who he is while the road keeps changing under his feet. Spoken as vivid travel and human stakes, not a lecture on colonialism.

Author

Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was one of the supreme storytellers in English — a Nobel laureate whose Jungle Books, Kim, and Just So Stories made childhood myth out of British India and the wider imperial world. He wrote with an unmatched ear for speech, rhythm, and craft: animals that argue like people, boys who learn the roads, ballads that stick in the mind.
