Palace and Mosque by Tim Stanley

Published in paperback for the opening of the Jameel Gallery of Islamic Art at the V&A, this fascinating introduction to Islamic art and culture draws on examples from magnificent collections of the V&A. It is an invaluable overview of a complex subject, exploring the cultural significance of objects in different media, from ceramics, miniature painting and textiles to wood-carving and metalwork, while the superb photographs highlight their unique craftsmanship.
'Wonderfully revealing - and beautifully illustrated' The Scotsman
