Wolf Hall (The Wolf Hall Trilogy) (Paperback) - Hilary Mantel

Now a major TV series Winner of the Man Booker Prize Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction Shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award

'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.
