Wolf Hall Pt1: World Class Basics - The Thomas Cromwell Story
Episode 97
Sunday, 7 April, 2024

Hello again old friend! Shark Liver Oil returns with a readthrough of Hilary Mantell's Wolf Hall. In Part 1 we meet our rags to riches hustler Thomas Cromwell as as he starts his ascent to become one of King Henry VIII's most trusted advisors. We're introduced to some of the main characters of the story including Cardinal "get me some cherries" Wolsey and Stephen "glass half empty" Gardiner. And we explore just how Cromwell has managed to rise to where he is. Probably something to do with Tudor-era World Class Basics.. If on'y he'd done a podcast about it. This part covers Part 1 of Wolf Hall. We'll do the other 5 parts over the next few months.
