ReviewsPraise for the original hardcover edition: "Told in the age-old rhythmic style of folklore, this story of modern times is unusually successful."-- Saturday Review "Magnificent drawings . . . drawn with real understanding of childhood."-- The New York Times "[A] well-loved story."-- Publishers Weekly, "Lynd Ward's magnificent drawings have a fine sweep and power; at the same time they are drawn with real understanding of childhood."- -The New York Times "There is just enough humanizing in the pictures . . . to maintain the human spirit of the story and lead to its message: 'Each to his own place, little brother.'"- -New York Herald Tribune, "There is just enough humanizing in the pictures--the intimation of a face on the tower, fog forming a grasping hand--to maintain the human spirit of the story and lead to its message: 'Each to his own place, little brother.' " -- New York Herald Tribune "Such a picture-story book as Mrs. Swift and Mr. Ward have made between them will not only be deeply enjoyed by boys and girls ... but will help to cultivate in them the seeing eye, and make them sensitive to the beauty which they can so easily find around them." -- The New York Times, "There is just enough humanizing in the pictures--the intimation of a face on the tower, fog forming a grasping hand--to maintain the human spirit of the story and lead to its message: 'Each to his own place, little brother.'

Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisLighthouses have guided sailors, adventurers, and dreamers throughout the world for centuries. And a very important lighthouse stands tucked beneath the great gray span of the George Washington Bridge on the Hudson River. This timeless and thoroughly charming story reveals how the proud little red lighthouse learned that even though it was very small, it was still mighty. "Told in the age-old rhythmic style of folklore, this story of modern times is unusually successful."--Saturday Review

Great old book!
I love this book. I went to the Bronx Botanical Garden Train Show and the lighthouse was right under the bridge that they had created out of all natural materials. This was the reason I wanted the book. Was a little disappointed that it doesn't have a cover but I was told that before I bought it. Other than that it is in perfect condition.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
