Lighthouses have been the homes and workplaces of men and women whose guardianship has saved countless lives from cruel seas. While that way of life is fading, the romance stays bright. From a blind lighthouse keeper tending a light in the Arctic Circle, to an intrepid girl saving ships at the foot of her father's lighthouse, to the lighthouse crew cut off for forty days, this is a glorious collection of illuminating stories, accompanied by beautiful illustrations, nautical charts, maps, architectural plans and curious facts.
