Summary
Decorated with sparkling jewels, India's Taj Mahal: India's Majestic Tomb is one of the most beautiful tombs in the world. Young readers will meet India's grieving Shah Jahan, who ordered the tomb's creation as a tribute to his wife when she died in 1631. A massive construction project that took 20 years and 20,000 people to complete, the Taj Mahal is a fascinating story that weaves Indian history, culture, and biography. Four-color photos, maps, timelines and compelling narratives guarantee to inform and entertain students.
