recording of The House of a Thousand Candles by Meredith Nicholson. Read by J. M. Smallheer. A top ten bestseller of 1906, The House of a Thousand Candles is part adventure/mystery and part romance. The book begins with young Jack Glenarm returning from various exploits in Europe and Africa for the reading of his grandfather’s will. In it, he stands to inherit his grandfather’s estate, but only if he can remain for one year in residence at the old man’s unfinished “House of a Thousand Candles” in Annandale, Indiana, with only his grandfather’s mysterious valet for company. If he violates the terms of the will, the house will go to a young woman, heretofore unknown to him, whom the will also forbids Jack to marry if he wants to retain his inheritance. This all sounds very mundane to Jack and he fully expects to be quite bored in very short order. Soon after Jack’s arrival at Glenarm House, however, various strange occurrences ensue, and he soon finds himself absorbed in the most lively adventure of his life! (summary by J. M.

“I kept pausing to think about what I just heard. That's the mark of a good book for me — when it makes you stop and actually reflect. The House of a Thousand Candles did that consistently.”

“Finished it in four sittings. Usually takes me weeks to get through an audiobook. Says a lot about how gripping The House of a Thousand Candles is.”
