'Soon after, its real work began - 15 years on the Wolf Hall trilogy, beginning in Surrey, continued in Devon, & concluded here, in the room from which I write to you.'Mantel wrote all her novels since the 1994 A Change of Climate on this desk, including Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies and The Mirror and the Light. Elsewhere, she has remarked that the desk 'has served me well and has a great record of turning out prize winners' - Wolf Hall won both the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. In the present letter, she concludes that she is relocating to Ireland, so 'It's time for the desk to move on - battered tho' it is, it still has life in it... The proceeds of the sale will buy books for children who need them.'The desk is being sold to support the work of the prestigious Budleigh Salterton Literary Festival in local schools.
