I always thought the AB had 6 fingers on her right hand, but there is no sign in the TV series. It would be easy to do this digitally these days.

jogasun....I wish you every success with the books. Personally I think they are very nearly unreadable. Her style of writing is extremely long-winded and confusing, using constant "flashbacks" in time. Pages can go by without her starting a new paragraph. In my humble opinion, Mantell needs a good Editor !

For far more readable books from a similar period, I can't recommend C J Sansom ::::::

Hi all, regarding AB six fingers, I have read that this was never a fact, she probably did have the usual 5, but the 6 fingers was a story spread by those that wanted her gone to speed up her downfall, I guess we will never know for sure.
On the strength of the good reports about the series, I downloaded both books, Wolf Hall and Bringing Up The Bodies and yes have to agree that they are very long winded, containing lots of flash backs. I struggled through a few chapters but have given up, I too would agree that there are a lot of much more readable books, but if anyone can recommend me any about Thomas Cromwell himself I would be grateful as all I have read are about Henry VIII himself.
I have to say though that I am not enjoying Wolf Hall as much as I hoped, I am finding it very dry and a bit dreary in places, I am not sure if I am going to continue watching which will be a shame as I was very much looking forward to the series. From most of you posting your thoughts it seems I will be in the minority though!
