Description: THE ASSASSINATION OF MARGARET THATCHER and Other Stories Author: Mantel, Hilary Title: THE ASSASSINATION OF MARGARET THATCHER and Other Stories Publication: London: Fourth Estate, 2014 Edition: First Edition Description: Hardcover. Signed by Hilary Mantel on the title page. Ten short stories by the two-time winner of the Man Booker Prize. Octavo. Original black cloth binding, with gilt titles and a ribbon marker. A near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket with some very light edgewear.From the library of revered English actor, comedian, musician, and writer Eric Idle, accompanied by a letter of provenance. Idle (b.1943) is a founding member of the British comedy troupe Monty Python, as well as the parody rock group The Rutles, and is the writer of the music and lyrics for the hit Broadway musical Spamalot.In a posting for his Eric Idle Online! blog concerning this book, Idle wrote: "This is a far better title than book. In fact it's just an eye catching title of a not particularly brilliant short story, which tries but fails to deliver on a promising concept. This is a publishers pot boiler. There are two schools of thought about Hilary Mantel and I'm afraid I fall into the other camp of what is the fuss all about? I couldn't finish the Cromwell book, and was reasonably disappointed by the stage adaptation I saw recently. I felt that Peter Akroyd's book on The Tudors knocked her fictionalisation into the proverbial cocked hat." Near fine / Near fine.
