Highly recommended--(Babur) The Orignal Mogul--

http://www.nytimes.com/1996/01/07/books/the-original-mogul.html

Indeed, reading the Baburnama is like hearing Babur the Tiger talking directly at you.

Wonderful.

A full transcript of the English translation is available on line, and if you get weary, you can always read Babur, The Tiger by Harold Lamb, which I am doing right now.

We all know Babur loved melons and so did I, since I read about him first 4-5 years ago.
