The Book of Emperors - An illustrated History of the Mughals
A little over five hundred years ago, a boy sat in a garden, waiting for his story to begin. His name was Babur, and he would soon found an empire that astonished the world.
For three hundred years, Babur’s sons and grandsons, alongside their mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters, would wage wars, make art and music, eat a delicious fruit or two, and both shape and be shaped by the land they made their home.
History would call them the Mughals. The Book of Emperors tells their stories.
The Book of Emperors is written by Ashwitha Jayakumar and illustrated by Nikhil Gulati. It was released by Penguin Random House India in June 2024. It has been praised by the likes of Manu Pillai, Ira Mukhoty, Parvati Sharma, Anirudh Kanisetti and Ursula Weekes.
