"In this final instalment of Hilary Mantel's extraordinary trilogy, Thomas Cromwell stands at the height of his power, following the fall of Anne Boleyn. As King Henry VIII's most trusted advisor, Cromwell is at the centre of the court's dangerous intrigues, deftly managing the kingdom's affairs while navigating a web of alliances and rivalries. But with every triumph comes the shadow of risk, and Cromwell finds himself increasingly isolated as the king's favour shifts. Mantel brilliantly captures the tension and uncertainty of Cromwell's final years, drawing the reader into a world where even the most powerful can face their downfall. This concluding chapter of Cromwell's story is a masterful exploration of ambition, loyalty, and the perilous nature of power"--From The Folio Society.

Rare Books
"England in the 1520s. Henry VIII is King; Cardinal Wolsey is his chief advisor and Thomas Cromwell is Wolsey's right-hand man. But in Tudor England allegiances are tenuous and the King's favour can change in a heartbeat. So, when Wolsey fails to secure Rome's support for Henry's longed-for divorce, his assets are seized, and his reputation ruined. Cromwell is well placed to step up to the King's side, but can he exert any influence over the volatile monarch? The first in what is widely considered the greatest trilogy of the modern era, Wolf Hall is wildly ambitious, brilliantly written and utterly enthralling; cementing Hilary Mantel's reputation as one of the greatest historical fiction writers. So eminent a novel requires the finest treatment reminiscent of the pomp and riches of the era, and this startling edition will be treasured for a lifetime. Award-winning artistic duo Igor & Marina have created 11 full-page pencil drawings of exceptionally fine detail, as well as a remarkable colour frontispiece and binding design featuring Cromwell"--From The Folio Society.
