Dear Robert,
You may see it in the New Readers' Guide section, very interesting and factful indeed
http://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/bookmart_fra.htm
The Main Works subsection - Stories and Reports - Kim
or here:
http://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/rg_kim.htm
Hope it will help,
Yan

R> This is my first message to this list.
R> I just read Kim for the first (and second) time and like many people fell in love with it.
R> I have four versions:
R> 1) 1900/1901 Doubleday edition. Came from a library. No reprint date but I suspect it is post 1901. Colorful dust jacket with standing Kim holding a walking staff. No illustrations.
R> 2) 1908 Mcmillan's Pocket Edition. 1914 reprint. Small. Bible-like pages. Soft red leather cover. JL Kipling illustrations.
R> 3) 1995 Folio Society edition. Follows 1900/1901 edition. Illustrated by Auguste Leroux.
R> 4) 1915 two-volume Service edition. It has a very interesting owner's inscription:
R> Twila Lytton
R> Isabella Thoburn College
R> Lucknow India
R> April 20, 1920
R> Isabella Thorburn is still an active College in Lucknow -- a school for CHristian girls.
R> Twila Lytton was a prominent student at that college, on a variety of committees, traveled to foreign countries to represent the school, and at one point attended a WHite House dinner and gave a presentation!
R> I also have Peter Hopkirk's Quest for Kim.
R> Please, can someone tell me how to get a hold of "Sharad Keskar's annotations [for Kim] in our own Reader's Guide.?"
R> Thanks.
