Back in 2009, reviewing Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, I wrote this:

'Speaking of long historical novels, there’s one which gives a completely contrasting view of the Reformation. It’s The Man on a Donkey by H F M Prescott, about that doomed rebellion the Pilgrimage of Grace. It centred on York and interestingly Mantel has Cromwell regard Yorkshire as a place of savagery. I won’t actually recommend the book as I read it when I was at school and don’t know what I’d make of it now.'

Now it's being hailed as a forgotten historical masterpiece and is 99p today (and it's a long book).

Intriguing but I'll probably give this a miss. My reading list is just too long to add everything to it :)

I wasn't really expecting people to rush to buy it but it does give a very different perspective on things from that given in Wolf Hall.
