In the Land of the Mogul

by Geoffrey Trease

First published 1938

2.8(4)

A youthful adventure unfolds across Mughal India during the reign of Jahangir, moving between travel, danger and the rivalries of imperial service. The protagonists encounter a court whose splendour depends on intricate relationships among princes, nobles, soldiers and merchants.

Trease uses the journey to introduce Mughal administration, religion, trade and court ceremony without treating India as a decorative backdrop. The story places European visitors within a powerful Asian empire whose political priorities remain its own.
