This review is from: Bonfire Prayers Customs Recipes Songs and Chants for Guy Fawkes Day (Kindle Edition)

"Comprehensive" it may be, however this is not really a book, it is really nothing but a photocopied, poorly put together booklet containing variations on a single poem. The reason I ordered it was for the recipes of which there are only two. At over $10.00 this was monstrously overpriced.

I found this booklet to be disappointing. I was hoping for more on the history, customs, recipes, and songs of Guy Fawkes Day. Most of the booklet is made-up of local variations on the "Remember, Remember the fifth of November" chant.
