I've never read Kipling's novel 'Kim', which you might think would be a problem when it comes to reading a work that sets out to visit the places and retrace the routes contained in the novel. Strangely enough it isn't as the author follows the story through the country, historical events and the colourful characters, providing just enough of each to keep the reader fascinated and intrigued. Expect a review of Kim itself next issue!
