Man Booker Prize








The 2012 Man Booker Prize has been awarded to Hilary Mantel for Bring Up the Bodies, the second book in a planned trilogy about Thomas Cromwell, a member of Henry VIII's court.




Mantel won the 2009 Booker Prize for “Wolf Hall,” the first book in the planned trilogy.  Mantel is the first woman and first Briton to win the Prize twice. 

The Man Booker Prize is awarded annually to a contemporary fiction author from the British Commonwealth and Ireland.
