When a mysterious billboard featuring the Tudor rose of King Henry VIII and the quote, "So now get up" - appeared last year in London's Leicester Square - people went nuts. So The Mirror & the Light arrives amidst huge anticipation. Both won Man Booker prizes for their author - Mantel is the first woman and the first British author to boast a double win for the prestigious award. The first book, Wolf Hall, and its sequel, Bring Up The Bodies, sold millions of copies, despite being doorstops - and were adapted into acclaimed stage and television dramas. Hilary Mantel's much-loved trilogy about King Henry VIII's powerful chief minister Thomas Cromwell comes to an end this week, with the publication of the third book in her series, The Mirror & the Light. It's time for the end of an era - one that began in the 16th century. Your purchase helps support NPR programming. Close overlay Buy Featured Book Title The Mirror & the Light Author Hilary Mantel
