Inhaltsangabe

'Guy Fawkes would light the fuse then leave the cellar quickly. If all went according to plan, he would be halfway across the River Thames in a boat by the time the bomb went off.' The book puts the Gunpowder Plot into its 1605 context, providing background information on King James I and the restraining laws against Catholics in Britain at that time. The progress of the actual plot is followed - the meeting of the plotters, the renting of the cellar beneath the House of Lords, the gunpowder and the letter of betrayal. Events following the discovery of the plot are examined, as the escaping plotters are eventually put to justice. Readers will find out all they need to know about the history of November 5th. Written in the lively style common to this series, with excellent cartoon illustrations. Complete with index.
