Remember, Remember the Fifth of November by James Sharpe
Guy Fawkes is amongst the most celebrated figures in English history and Bonfire Night is a very English tradition. This book examines the fateful night of 5 November, 1605 and the tangled web of religion and politics which gave rise to the plot. It also shows how celebration of the event, and of Guy Fawkes, has changed over the years.
