"Yes it is," agreed Scary. "But it marks the failure of the Gunpowder Plot on November the 5th, 1605, when a group of evil conspirators planned to blow up Parliament and kill King James I. There were 13 bad people involved, one of whom was called Guy Fawkes."
"Oh, I've heard of him," said James. "That's the name of the figure that is burnt on top of every bonfire."
"Well done," said Scary. "He is the most famous of the conspirators as he was the one caught in the cellar below the House of Lords with 36 barrels of gunpowder, ready to light the fuse to blow them all up. All the others were caught later and put in prison. So we're celebrating that they were stopped as it would have changed the course of British history.
