History-Sode | Guy Fawkes Night
Long before fireworks were just for fun, one bold plan nearly changed England forever.
In this History-Sode, Auntie Jo Jo takes you back to 1605, when Guy Fawkes and his fellow plotters tried to blow up Parliament and how that failed attempt became Britain’s glowing November tradition: Bonfire Night.
