| Summary | "The Candle and the Cat" by Mary Finley Leonard is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young girl named Caro and her adventures with her beloved cat, Trolley, in the context of her family's interactions with their neighbors, particularly the reclusive Grayson family. The themes of friendship, kindness, and the importance of light—a metaphor for hope and cheer—are woven throughout the narrative. The plot unfolds as Caro, staying with her grandfather, attempts to bring happiness to her new surroundings and those she meets. Struggling with her fear of the dark, Caro is given a special silver candlestick that belonged to her grandmother, which symbolizes her desire for comfort and warmth amid uncertainties. As she ventures to visit Walter Grayson, the sickly young man unable to walk, she unknowingly helps bridge the gap between the Graysons and her family, thus restoring old friendships and creating new bonds. The story culminates in a heartwarming Christmas celebration that highlights themes of reconciliation, community, and the cherished moments that unite people across differences.
