Lady Antonia Fraser's usual superb scholarship presented so that the modern reader can identify with the historical characters and follow the events of the time. As the title indicates, this is the story of the Gunpowder Plot, the foiling of which is celebrated every November in Great Britain. The book not only focuses on the primary movers of this plot but also their families, servants and the impact on the country as a whole.
