Description: "Joining the phenomenal best-selling Folio edition of Wolf Hall, the second book in Hilary Mantel's trilogy also features the striking artwork of fine artists Igor and Marina. Working in pencil, the artistic duo delves into the minutiae of Cromwell's life, bringing emotion and intrigue to the 11 drawings. A spectacular colour frontispiece and stunning binding design complete their work on this incredible edition. Henry VIII has grown tired of Anne Boleyn and wants a new queen ... Thomas Cromwell will help him fulfil this desire. In the second book in what is arguably the greatest trilogy of the modern era, Mantel immerses the reader in the narrative of the King's chief minister, as played out against the glamorous and contentious backdrop of Tudor London"--From The Folio Society.

Rare Books

"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.
