History

Remember, remember, the Fifth of November ...

With a narrative that grips the reader like a detective story, Antonia Fraser brings the characters and events of the Gunpowder Plot to life. Dramatically recreating the conditions and motives that surrounded the fateful night of 5 November 1605, she unravels the tangled web of religion and politics that spawned the plot.

“An excellent book which unravels the whole story of the plot.” LITERARY REVIEW

“Told with impressive scholarship and panache ... with a sense of pace and tension worthy of a John le Carré novel'.” SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
