Critics Review

The Book of Emperors is a captivating book that seamlessly blends vivid storytelling with exquisite Mughal miniature-inspired imagery. Ashwitha and Nikhil bring to life an extraordinary lost world from the majestic courts to the intricacies of everyday life. It is a brilliant book, and a wonderful new introduction to Mughal history.–Sam Dalrymple, Historian
