Guy Fawkes Day

Posted on June 5, 2012 by


Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot;
I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

~British Nursery Rhyme, Author Unknown.

For those of you who have seen the movie (or read the graphic novel), V for Vendetta, you might already be familiar with Guy Fawkes.  For everyone else, he was a member of the Gunpowder Plot, which was a failed plan in 1605 to blow up Parliament, the location of the British government, in an attempt to assassinate King James I.  Guy Fawkes Day is an annual holiday celebrated on November 5th in Great Britain to commemorate this event.  People typically light bonfires and sometimes burn effigies of Guy Fawkes, whose face is the model for the famous Guy Fawkes mask that the main character wears in V for Vendetta. The mask is now on display in the library.  You can read more about it from Encyclopaedia Britannica.

 

While many of you might be familiar with the movie version of V for Vendetta, the story was initially told through the graphic novel format, written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd. We are happy to announce that the Putnam Library has decided to purchase

Happy Reading,

Ms.
