"Stories of the Saints by Candle-Light" by Vera C. Barclay is a collection of children's stories written in the early 20th century. The book features a group of young Cubs, spending nine days at camp, where they enjoy various adventures while being told stories about saints every evening. Through engaging tales, it aims to impart moral lessons and spiritual wisdom, making the stories suitable for young readers and their families. At the start, the Cubs are excitedly traveling to their camp on the Isle of Wight, anticipating the fun experiences that await them. They joyfully sing songs, explore the sea, and set up their camping site, which is managed under the supervision of their leaders. Each night, they gather for candle-light stories, beginning with the tale of St. Benedict, a boy who chooses a path of faith and service to God despite temptations and hardships. This opening portion draws readers into the adventures of the Cubs while simultaneously introducing them to the inspirational lives of saints from Christian tradition.
