    Lighthouse lovers, look no further! 25 of the world's most amazing lighthouses that will blow your mind!

    Learn about these incredible and essential buildings scattered on our shorelines across the globe. This amazing book features one of the spookiest buildings in the UK, the oldest working lighthouse today, one that was destroyed during a "tea party" and others that were built in the wrong place. How did that happen and what was done about it?

    The book describes some of the hardships of the lighthouse keepers had to endure in keeping their "light" burning to help ships pass safely through their waters. Some lighthouses are what postcards are made of, while others exist in the harsh wilderness of ocean and ice. Lonely and desolate but still required to burn.

    25 lighthouses from across the globe with awesome pictures to bring the stories alive.

    Intended for children 9+, however it is also suitable for younger children with parental guidance.

    This book is simply a "must have" for anyone with the slightest interest in these beautiful, essential buildings called Lighthouses.
