On the 5th of November in 1605, Guy Fawkes & his fellow Catholic plotters attempted 'The Gunpowder Plot'. This involved blowing up the Houses of Parliament & assassinating King James I of England. The men were caught in the act and were subsequently imprisoned in the Tower of London. 

Every 5th of November, we hold parties with fireworks & bonfires because of the failed plot. Until 1959, it was illegal to not celebrate 'Bonfire Night' in Britain.  

This doll is only 16cm tall & very easy to knit. It would be perfect for a bonfire night party or as a gift for a history lover.
