But the bloody theatre of Cromwell’s ascension will leave no one unscathed.This collection includes expertly adapted versions of Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies, alongside The World of Wolf Hall, a listening guide which explores the key themes and historical context of the novels, and offers listening group questions to discuss.Read by Dan Stevens, Julian Rhind-Tutt, and Anna Bentinck.Praise for WOLF HALL:‘Wonderful.
