Mr Fawkes, the King and the Gunpowder Plot Reviews

    This was good for helping children understand a quite complicated story. The downside was knowing what was fictionalised and what was fact.

    Doesn't stick to facts of history. Too much fiction to be any good for teaching even basics of Gunpowder Plot. Like that a man named Keyes was in the cellar with guy Fawkes and lit fuse instead of Fawks.
