Read Saffron Tree's review here and an interview by The Hindu here.
Dr. Milo C. Beach, former director of the Sackler and Freer Art Galleries at the Smithsonian Institution, said this about Captured in Miniature:
"Extremely well written and factually very accurate. For me, the major value of the text and the aspect that will intrigue children the most comes from details in the paintings that the author chooses to isolate and explain. They not only animate the illustrations, they effectively evoke the world of the Mughals—and understanding of worlds different than one’s own is vitally important for children today more than ever before. I only wish such a book had been available before this!"
