1. Mantel Pieces: Royal Bodies and Other Writing from The London Review of Books
by Hilary Mantel
Hardcover – 7 October 2020
A stunning collection of essays and memoir from twice Booker Prize winner and international bestseller Hilary Mantel, author of The Mirror and the Light
In 1987, when Hilary Mantel was first published in the London Review of Books, she wrote to the editor, Karl Miller, ‘I have no critical training whatsoever, so I am forced to be more brisk and breezy than scholarly.’ This collection of twenty reviews, essays and pieces of memoir from the next three decades, tells the story of what happened next.
Her subjects range far and wide: Robespierre and Danton, the Hite report, Saudi Arabia where she lived for four years in the 1980s, the Bulger case, John Osborne, the Virgin Mary as well as the pop icon Madonna, a brilliant examination of Helen Duncan, Britain’s last witch. There are essays about Jane Boleyn, Charles Brandon, Christopher Marlowe and Margaret Pole, which display the astonishing insight into the Tudor mind we are familiar with from the bestselling Wolf Hall Trilogy. Her famous lecture, ‘Royal Bodies’, which caused a media frenzy, explores the place of royal women in society and our imagination. Here too are some of her LRB diaries, including her first meeting with her stepfather and a confrontation with a circus strongman.
Constantly illuminating, always penetrating and often very funny, interleaved with letters and other ephemera gathered from the archive, Mantel Pieces is an irresistible selection from one of our greatest living writers.

Reviews
‘Thank you, Duchess Wibberfluffle! Without your chapter on love-making for innocents I should have never known how a lady came to be with child. But more detailed instruction would have been appreciated.’ – Eloise Bridgerton
‘My eighth season and I’ve finally found a match thanks to your fabulous book. He’s no catch but my family have finally stopped calling me ‘the disappointment’. Couldn’t recommend more highly.’ – Baroness Berbrooke
‘She’s a fraud. I doubt she even has wisteria around her house. AVOID.’ – Lady Whistledown

How to Be More Bridgerton. (An unofficial advisory inspired by the Netflix series)
About the Author
Duchess Wibberfluffle is the author of several explosive society papers and this book. It is certain that her moniker is a pseudonym, that many an amateur sleuth has been attempting to uncover in a very half-hearted and ladylike way. Top contenders for the REAL Duchess Wibberfluffle include Bristol-based author Tamsin English, HRH the Duchess of Cornwall, Stephen Fry and Kylie Jenner.
