Book Description | Kim |
Editorial Review | Rudyard Kipling’s adventure novel is luminously visualized in this adaptation. The story line remains true to the original and follows Kim as he departs from his boyhood home with a Buddhist lama and embarks on adventures as a boy spy. Kumar’s watercolour scenes and expressions lend authentic views of Kim’s moods as well as his surroundings. However, this is more illustrated classic than graphic novel, as aside from the visual scenery, little is left for the images to convey that isn’t spoken by the text. Accessible and continuing to be a story of interest, this book nonetheless has a place in most collections serving classics. A bit of front matter sets the story’s context against the author’s own life, and a bit of back matter provides interesting details about spy tools of the era. Grades 5-8. --Francisca Goldsmith --This text refers to the Audio CD edition. |
