Brief And Bitter Hearts - Paperback

by Dorothy Davies (Author)

Remember, remember the Fifth of November/Gunpowder, Treason and Plot... but do we really know the truth behind that most famous of attempts to blow up the Houses of Parliament? Is Guy Fawkes the evil fiend we have been led to believe he is? In this book, dictated by Guy Fawkes himself, the reader is shown a different person, a devout, almost monkish young man who was drawn into the conspiracy through his own fanatical faith. Here is the true story of the so-called plot, Guy's unfortunate part in it, the truth about his torture and trial, and his execution. History is about to be rewritten!
