Illustrated by
Anne Mortimer.
A twenty-four-candle lantern atop a lighthouse is tended to by a lonely keeper. Company arrives in the form of a cat stowed away in a supply delivery. When a storm whips up and extinguishes the lantern, it is the cat and his feline friends that save a ship from ruin. While the plot is far-fetched, the realistic art will appeal to cat lovers.
