Royal Diaries, The: Jahanara, Princess of Princesses (EBK)
by Lasky, KathrynIn the 1600s, the Mughal emperors of India were among the greatest rulers of the East. Jahanara is the daughter of one of these ultra-rich and powerful figures, Shah Jahan the Magnificent.

It is rife with intrigue and turmoil as her father fights for his right to rule—and she struggles against the confinement her Muslim religion dictates. Jahanara's diary allows readers to witness the exotic splendor and unforgettable drama of this past great dynasty.
