Few major cities of the world are as rich in historical associations as Delhi, and fewer still possess such a wealth of archaelogical and architectural splendours. This anthology contains vivid accounts of Delhi from ancient times to the early twentieth century, picked from hundreds of books and documents, some of them long out of print. They range from the Timur's accounts of his attack on Delhi to Aurangzeb's rules about the acceptable length of beards, and anecdotes about city saunas.Kaul, H. K. is the author of 'Historic Delhi An Anthology', published 1986 under ISBN 9780195614848 and ISBN 0195614844.
