The King's men are despoiling the monasteries and dividing church wealth among the royal favourites and a rebellion is brewing in the north. H.F.M. Prescott's novel tells the story of one of the most tumultuous events in British history. 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. THE MAN ON A DONKEY is an enthralling novel set in this difficult and complex period in history, when England's Catholic heritage was scattered to the four winds by a powerful and arrogant king. First published in 1952.
