Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on July 06, 1952)

Happy Birthday, Hilary Mantel! May your day be filled with more intrigue and excitement than Thomas Cromwell's diary. You've brilliantly brought history to life—twice winning the Booker Prize for "Wolf Hall" and "Bring Up the Bodies," proving that nobody does Tudor drama quite like you.

Here's hoping your birthday celebrations are as timelessly entertaining as your novels—and far less dangerous than Henry VIII’s court politics. Keep weaving those captivating tales; after all, who else could make us root so passionately for a 16th-century statesman? Cheers to another year of literary triumphs and historical mischief!
