India is the land of kings and emperors, full of gold and precious stones, the land that attracted the Moghuls, the Portuguese, the Dutch, the French and of course the English. It has a fascinating past, full of excitement and adventure. Join Butterball, the cat of many lives, as he takes young Manu and his sister Ammu back into his vivid memories of palaces and battlefields, bustling bazaars and remote villages, to give them glimpses of India’s thrilling history, from the time of the Sultans to the Sepoy Mutiny.
This is the first book of a three part series which brings India’s glorious past alive and makes you see history as a story that never ends, full of plots and plans, twists and turns, the true story of real people who lived in this great country and helped make it what it is today. Watch out for the other two books, which will take you from the Mutiny to Independence, and from 1947 to the twenty first century.
