I was intrigued with the new Taj Mahal discoveries focused upon in this book. The Moonlight Garden shows that the land across the Jumna River from the Taj had been an integral part of the famous mausoleum's overall design. This book is factual and fully illusrated with photographs, drawings, and Mughal miniature paintings to help with explanations. Very helpful to me for my writing.
