After the death of Queen Elizabeth I, the country encounters all kinds of traumatic events. Thirteen conspirators are caught in The Gunpowder Plot, the King is challenged and the English Civil War breaks out. Just when things seem back to normal, the Great Fire of London threatens to destroy the city. 

Perfect for students without any background knowledge, geared to make history fun and interesting! Making the topic age-appropriate, the students will learn lots of facts, and are encouraged...
