The Taj Mahal in India has been called a 'teardrop on the cheek of
time'. This grand monument that was raised to house the mortal remains
of Mumtaz Mahal, the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan's beloved wife, today
draws millions of visitors from across the globe.
One of more than 85 titles Campfire has published since their
introduction to North America in 2010.
This is the story behind the Taj Mahal - of the incredible love story of
Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, how they met and fell in love, and how Shah
Jahan was to lose her as she died while giving birth. This is also the
story of how the Taj Mahal was built, and how the great Mughal emperor
spent his last days imprisoned in his fort, pining for his beloved
Mumtaz, as he gazed over the river for a view of the magnificent
edifice, a monumental reminder of his love and loss.
