Mantel said in a statement that the novels have been a “long journey” through Cromwell’s rise in the court of King Henry VIII and the “last miles” to the scaffold at Tower Hill, where he was beheaded in 1540.
Wolf Hall was published in 2009, and Bring Up The Bodies in 2012. Worldwide sales for the two books top 5 million copies.
