>T is for Tales!
It is!
>[47] 7 Stories? Songs? Sections? in the Tales of a Wayside Inn (Landlord, Student, Spanish Jew, Sicilian, Musician, Theologian, Poet)
H. W. Longfellow. I had "storytellers" in mind but some of these are a bit fuzzy around the edges, I have to admit.
>[48] 30 Pilgrims in The Canterbury Tales
Correct . . .
>(no clue on IC)
. . . suppose I said that the "I" was meant to be "including"?
>[49] 100 Tales in the Decameron
Right. Boccaccio.
>[50] 156 Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales
Right. I've tried not to make any author initials too obvious but there are a few tucked away here and there.

>Has to be from Durrell's Alexandra Quartet
Correct. Mountolive.

>Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
Also correct.
>(I forget the little prude's name)
The what? Fanny Price isn’t a little prude; she's a pillar of moral strength and a twenty-four-carat sweetheart. Who else in her position would take such a courageous stand against the forces of degeneracy, intrigue, hedonism and amateur dramatics?
All modern commentators hate her, which is reason enough to show she's on the side of the angels.

>Rosie Palm and her 5 sisters
Daughters. "Dating Rosie Palm and her five daughters" being of course a time-honoured euphemism for DIY sex.
>Terry Pratchett (let somewhere in Discworld suffice)
The cruelty to commas (plus general unworldliness) is a key. It's Carrot’s letter home after he arrives in Ankh-Morpork in ‘Guards! Guards!’.

>is most likely Hilary Mantel
Correct.
>I'll guess Wolf Hall as Thomas C (if this is Thomas C) is a youngish man here
Right trilogy, wrong book. He doesn’t have to be *that* young. It's ‘Bring Up The Bodies’ (the second one).
Something I have wondered about:
In the courtyard when they're getting ready to leave the next morning, the woman asks Cromwell to send her something nice from London. She specifically says, send me something you can’t get here. Not sure if that is just because she wants something luxurious, or because she specifically wants to signal to her husband what happened, to humiliate him. Maybe I'm over-reading it.
