This BARGAIN BUNDLE offers both Part One (Wolf Hall) & Part 2 (Bring Up the Bodies) ACTING EDITIONS of Mike Poulton's acclaimed adaptation of Hilary Mantel's Man Booker Prize-winning novel
The First Part - WOLF HALL - begins in England in 1527
King Henry VIII needs a male heir
His anger grows as months pass without the divorce he craves
Into this volatile court enters the commoner Thomas Cromwell
Once a mercenary and now a master politician, he sets out to grant King Henry's desire
As well as methodically and ruthlessly pursuing his own Reforming agenda
In Part Two - BRING UP THE BODIES - Anne Boleyn is now queen, her path to Henry's side cleared by Cromwell
But Henry still needs a male heir, and he begins to fall in love with the seemingly plain Jane Seymour
Cromwell must negotiate an increasingly perilous court to satisfy Henry and defend the nation
And advance his own ambitions
