Today\u2019s story has had many media iterations. Most famous is likely the 1975 film with Sean Connery, Michael Caine, and Christopher Plummer. It\u2019s been dramatized in radio on the program Escape, in 1943, and even the Dreamworks film \u201cThe Road to Eldorado\u201d can be said to be loosely based on it. J.M. Barrie called it, \u201cthe most audacious thing in fiction\u201d. It inspired T.S. Eliot to write a poem when he was young. Kingsley Amis called it, \u201cgrossly overrated\u201d. Overrated? Maybe. Audacious? Absolutely. Either way, we hope you like it.\xa0
And now, \u201cThe Man Who Would be King\u201d, by Rudyard Kipling.\xa0
