King

One of my favorite movies with Sean Connery. this is a great book and very well narrated.

What can one dollar get you?

The best hour and a half, that's what. Granted, I'm new to Kipling but this short story is a lush, beautiful story but served in equal parts grit and grime. You can smell, hear, and feel the county this story falls from and Kipling respects the written word better than anyone I can think of... highly recommended for a long commute or an evening break from your tv...

Good classic listen.

Reading quite good. Don't expect it to be like the movie. They're each good in their own rites.

BJ Harrison brings book to life

This was an excellent rendition of the story the man who would be King and Mr. Harrison did a remarkable job of bringing to life the characters within the story by changing his voice to lend each character its own personality. I would definitely purchase another audible book read by this man. Very enjoyable.

A classic.

There is nothing to say to something that is almost perfect, just a classic, one of the best stories written by Kipling.
