A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

'The Apollo choices have been masterful. The list is thought-provoking, eye-opening, inspired and inspiring' The Big Issue.

THE MAN ON A DONKEY is an enthralling novel set in a difficult and complex period in history, when England's Catholic heritage was scattered to the four winds by a powerful and arrogant king.

In 1536 Henry VIII was almost toppled from his throne when Northern England rose to oppose the Dissolution of the Monasteries. For a few weeks Robert Aske, the leader of the rebels, held the fate of the entire nation in his hand.
