Kim is a picaresque novel by Nobel Prize-winning English author Rudyard Kipling. It was first published serially in McClures Magazine from December 1900 to October 1901 as well as in Cassells Magazine from January to November 1901, and first published in book form by Macmillan & Co. Ltd in October 1901. The story unfolds against the backdrop of The Great Game, the political conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia. It is set after the Second Afghan War which ended in 1881, but before the Third, probably in the period 189398. The novel is notable for its detailed portrait of the people, culture, and varied religions of India. "The book presents a vivid picture of India, its teeming populations, religions, and superstitions, and the life of the bazaars and the road."

In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Kim #78 on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. In 2003 the book was listed on the BBCs The Big Read poll of the UKs "best-loved novel."

Joseph Rudyard Kipling 30 December 1865 18 January 1936 was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist chiefly remembered for his tales and poems of British soldiers in India, and his tales for children. He was born in Bombay, in the Bombay Presidency of British India, and was taken by his family to England when he was five years old. Kipling is best known for his works of fiction, including The Jungle Book (a collection of stories which includes "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi"), Just So Stories (1902), Kim (1901) (a tale of adventure), many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888); and his poems, including "Mandalay" (1890), "Gunga Din" (1890), "The White Mans Burden" (1899) and "If" (1910). He is regarded as a major "innovator in the art of the short story"; his childrens books are enduring classics of childrens literature; and his best works are said to exhibit "a versatile and luminous narrative gift".
