‘Dizzyingly, dazzlingly good' Daily Mail
‘Our most brilliant English writer’ Guardian
In this brilliant novel, Hilary Mantel brings the opulent, brutal world of the Tudors to bloody, glittering life. It is the backdrop to the rise and rise of Thomas Cromwell: lowborn boy, charmer, bully, master of deadly intrigue and, finally, most powerful of Henry VIII’s courtiers, determined to bring England into a modern age.
Heralded as the greatest English novels of this century, the Wolf Hall trilogy has won two Booker Prizes and been adapted into hugely successful stage plays. The first two books, Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, were transformed into a BAFTA- and Golden Globe-winning BBC television series, starring Mark Rylance and Damian Lewis. The cast will return in the long-awaited concluding series, Wolf Hall: The Mirror & the Light.
Dame Hilary Mantel was one of the greatest English novelists of our time, best known for her epic the Wolf Hall Trilogy. She won the Man Booker Prize twice, for Wolf Hall and its sequel Bring Up the Bodies, which also won the Costa Book of the Year. The conclusion of the trilogy, The Mirror & the Light, was an instant number one bestseller and winner of the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction, which she had also won for Wolf Hall. Mantel is the author of fourteen other acclaimed books, including A Place of Greater Safety, Beyond Black, the memoir Giving Up the Ghost and the short story collection The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher.
