The greatest literary sensation of recent times
- & now the inspiration for a major BBC series, starring Mark Rylance & Damian Lewis & directed by Peter Kosminsky. In this staggeringly brilliant novel, Hilary Mantel brings the opulent, brutal world of the Tudors to bloody, glittering life. It is the backdrop to the rise & rise of Thomas Cromwell: lowborn boy, charmer, bully, master of deadly intrigue &, finally, most powerful of Henry VIII`s courtiers. Both winners of the Man Booker Prize & already hugely successful stage plays, WOLF HALL & its sequel BRING UP THE BODIES have now been transformed into a BBC television series starring Mark Rylance & Damian Lewis, bringing history to life for a whole new audience.
