The Bishop's Candlesticks is a one-act play written by Norman McKinnel in 1908. The play is based on a chapter from Victor Hugo's novel Les Mis�����rables and tells the story of a bishop who offers shelter to a desperate thief. The thief, who has been hardened by a life of poverty and crime, tries to steal the bishop's silver candlesticks but is caught by the bishop. Instead of turning him over to the authorities, the bishop shows him kindness and forgiveness, which leads the thief to have a change of heart. The play explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the power of kindness. It has been performed numerous times and is considered a classic of English theatre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
