“Throughout his long life on Puffin Island, Benjamin Postlethwaite kept a vigilant watch to ensure the lighthouse beam shone brightly. Day and night, the mournful tolling of a bell rang out from the high tower, and the lighthouse beam helped merchant steamships and fishing schooners passing the island stay safely on course…”
Benjamin Postlethwaite is the lighthouse keeper on Puffin Island, who dedicated himself to selfless service to others, asking for nothing in return—neither rewards, nor honors, nor recognition. This is a story about a man who was selfless, honest, and altruistic. It is also a touching, extraordinarily bright, and captivating story about friendship and loyalty, faith and hope, heroism and a sense of duty.
