Mantel, Hilary - Wolf Hall - ( Item 140435 )

Published in London by Folio Society. 2022. First Thus. Fine Hardback. No inscriptions or bookplates. Near Fine slipcase. Slight marks to panels of slipcase. Illustrated by Igor & Marina. Book 1 of the 'Wolf Hall' trilogy. The rise and fall of Thomas Cromwell is brilliantly portrayed in Hilary Mantel's Booker Prize-winning Wolf Hall. This Folio Society edition is illustrated by world-renowned fine artists Igor & Marina. 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.
