Librivox recording of Kim by Rudyard Kipling.
Read by Adrian Praetzellis.
Kim is a fabulous adventure story set in India during the former British Empire. It tells the story of a street-wise but (in typical Kipling fashion) highly moral Anglo-Indian boy who becomes enmeshed the “the Great Game” -– the competition between Britain and Russia for control over Asia. Taking time off from his role as the traveling companion of an aged Tibetan lama, the boy is trained as a spy, matches wits with various evildoers, and wins out in the end. So much more than just a spy story, Kim is one of the most enjoyable books that you will ever read -- or have read to you.
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was born in Bombay, India. He was the author of many short stories and novels including The Jungle Book. (summary by Adrian Praetzellis)

Thank you to Adrian Praetzellis for "Kim" by Rudyard Kipling
A big thank you to Adrian for his wonderful reading of a great book at http://librivox.org/kim-by-rudyard-kipling/ .
His characatures are excellent and consistent throughout this quite long book. I don't know how you do it so well for so long: They are so good I find myself mimicking the lama when trying to sound wise!
Adrian's narration is as clear as a bell with a rhythm, speed, volume and pitch ("RSVP" as they teach in the military for clear voice communications!) that bring this book and its characters to life and so make it very hard to "put down".
The recording is so clear that, at one stage, I can hear what sounds like night crickets chirping in the background!!
10/10, thank you again.
