Today's story has had many media iterations. Most famous is likely the 1975 film with Sean Connery, Michael Caine, and Christopher Plummer. It's been dramatized in radio on the program Escape, in 1943, and even the Dreamworks film "The Road to Eldorado" can be said to be loosely based on it. J.M. Barrie called it, "the most audacious thing in fiction". It inspired T.S. Eliot to write a poem when he was young. Kingsley Amis called it, "grossly overrated". Overrated? Maybe. Audacious? Absolutely. Either way, we hope you like it.
And now, "The Man Who Would be King", by Rudyard Kipling.
