The Bishop's Candlesticks is a one-act play written by Norman McKinnel in 1908. The play is set in France during the 19th century and follows the story of a bishop who is visited by a convict seeking refuge in his house. The convict, named Valjean, steals a pair of candlesticks from the bishop's home but is caught by the police. The bishop, instead of accusing Valjean, forgives him and gives him the candlesticks. This act of kindness changes Valjean's life, and he becomes a better person. The play explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the power of kindness. It is a classic example of a morality play and has been adapted into various forms, including films and operas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
