NINE DAYS IN CAMP, AND NINE STORIES BY CANDLE-LIGHT

ABOUT THIS BOOK

Once upon a time there were fifteen Cubs who spent nine wonderful days
in camp. They were London Cubs, and the camp was on a beautiful little
green island whose rocky shore ran down in green, tree-covered points
into the bluest sea you ever saw.
