Sinossi

"Lighthouse Legends" explores the rich history and folklore surrounding these iconic coastal structures. It delves into their technological evolution, from simple signal fires to complex optical systems, highlighting their pivotal role in navigation and maritime trade. Lighthouses weren't just navigational aids; they were crucial hubs connecting coastal communities and global commerce. The book also examines dramatic rescues and tragic shipwrecks, revealing the bravery of lighthouse keepers and the harrowing experiences of those at sea. 

 
The book progresses through three sections, beginning with the history and technology of lighthouses, then focusing on documented accounts of rescues and shipwrecks, and finally exploring the folklore and legends associated with these maritime beacons. It argues that lighthouses embody human resilience and innovation in the face of the sea's unpredictable power.

 
What sets this book apart is its blend of historical accuracy and compelling storytelling, making it valuable to history buffs, travel lovers, and anyone fascinated by tales of the sea.

    The History of London

    Walter Besant was a novelist and historian, and his topographical and historical writings, ranging from prehistoric times to the nineteenth century, were probably best known through the detailed 10-volume Survey of London published after his death.This earlier single volume covers, in less depth, the whole period from prehistory until the 19th century. The book appears originally to have been written for boys, and, indeed, the chapters are called "Lessons". However, it is a very readable history and provides a fascinating insight into both London's past and the government of the City at the time the book was written (1894). (Summary by Ruth Golding)
