Shah Jahan, betrayed by his own son Aurangzeb and imprisoned in a cell overlooking the Taj Mahal, the tomb of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, recounts the story of his struggle for the throne to the most opulent kingdom of the day and his subsequent downfall.
This beautifully illustrated book tells the saga of Shah Jahan's Moghul ancestry, their defeats and conquests; and of the building of the Taj Mahal which remains one of the wonders of the world. Shah Jahan & The Story of the Taj Mahal is a compelling story that will capture the imagination not only of children, but of adults as well.
