Hold onto your heads, Hilary Mantel fans. The American broadcast premiere of "Wolf Hall" has been set -- the miniseries is coming April 5 to "Masterpiece" on PBS.

"Wolf Hall" is Mantel's Man Booker award winning novel about Thomas Cromwell, the crafty blacksmith's son who rose to be advisor to King Henry VIII.

The miniseries stars Mark Rylance as Cromwell and Damian Lewis as Henry VIII. The six-part adaptation is being made in England, Deadline reports, by Company Pictures and Playground, a co-production for BBC Two and "Masterpiece."

I tried to read this, anyone finish it, seemed like a retread of familiar and often told territory.

I did read the book, agree it was not an easy read. Maybe the series will be better. I had intended to read the trilogy but probably won't.

I love this author, but hated this book. Dreadful.
