James I and the Gunpowder Plot

Context:

Dominic reads extended quotes from this Ladybird book, including the passage describing King James as 'not a pleasant man' with 'ungainly appearance' who was 'untrustworthy and deceitful,' and a surprisingly sympathetic passage about Guy Fawkes as 'a brave man and a gentleman, a faithful friend to the limit of endurance.' It illustrates the strong moral viewpoints in vintage children's history.
