By Hildegarde H. Swift & Lynd Ward. Published by Harper Collins.

Built in 1880 of cast iron and steel, the "fat and red and jolly" little light-house sits on the bank of the Hudson River in New York City. When the great, gray and powerful George Washington Bridge is built overheard, the little light-house feels very, very small. But he soon comes to understand that he is still needed to guide boats through dark and stormy weather.
