They plan to load up on weapons, travel to the remote Afghan kingdom of Kafiristan and - through cunning and military force - become monarchs.

Famously adapted to the screen in 1975 by director John Huston, 'The Man Who Would Be King' is among the most popular and beloved adventure tales of colonial British life in Asia and is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
