A small boy thinks he's the cause of the London Fire in this moving tale of mistakes and redemption
It was dark in the attic bedroom and John really wanted a candle. He snuck downstairs and stole the candle from his parents' bedroom. John slept soundly with his candle flickering on the windowsill beside him. But in the morning when he woke, the air was thick with smoke and the smell of burning. London was on fire! And John's candle had disappeared.
