"I am continually hearing stories-exquisite ones-which would be proof enough to any soul that God is an Infinitely Understanding Person. But usually for the very reason of their nature, they are private-keepsakes between the soul and God."

Here are seven true stories in honour of the Seven Joys of Our Blessed Lady, and ten more invented ones about the delightful Barnabas Job, to make a comfortable book for those who are afraid of the dark.
