First published in 1942, this well-loved story about a Manhattan lighthouse who's feeling overshadowed by his new "big brother" (the George Washington bridge) has been rereleased in its original format, along with a plastic night-light that pictures the famous landmark.
As the bright-red lighthouse watches the gigantic gray bridge go up overhead--equipped with its own fog-penetrating lights, no less!--the spirited little guy starts to feel pretty inadequate. But with some gentle reassurance, the wise steel bridge convinces him that we all have a purpose we can take pride in. ("I call to the airplanes," cried the bridge. "I flash to the ships of the air. But you are still master of the river. Quick, let your light shine again. Each to his own place, little brother!")
The timeless book owes its popularity to both Hildegarde H. Swift (who won a Newbery Honor for writing 1933's The Railroad to Freedom) and Caldecott-winning artist Lynd Ward, whose original watercolors appear here for the first time in print. And although the 3-1/2-inch-tall night-light included might not be any great shakes, the gift box provides a nice package for passing on this sweet story to another generation. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes

A rediscovered classicMy oldest son found an old, beat-up copy of this book at his grandmother's house 3 years ago. He was 3 at the time. He loved the story and the pictures. His younger brother, now 3, has become just as attached. The story is fun and exciting and helps us all understand that we all have something to contribute. If you like the other timeless books from this era (The Little Engine That Could, Mike Mulligan), then you'll truly enjoy this one.

If one must read criticism on Swift it may as well be thisOK I admit it--I love Jonathan Swift--An unbelievable satirist and a very talented writer and poet. This book has some great essays about Swift, his history, and contemporaries. These essays are somewhat esoteric and scholarly but worth the effort. Especially the Blackwell essay. If you are writing a paper on Swift (or you are a sincere fan) and you want info--read this book.

A balletmaster 200 years agoOne of the most important persons in ballet history is Charles-Louis Didelot. Mary Grace Swift has written a most learned biography about him. In this scholarly volume, winner of the De la Torre Bueno Prize in 1973, there are many illustrations, both from Russian archives and from the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Didelot (1767-1837) was born in Sweden and again I can note that I have a very famous compatriot in the field of dance. He was of French parentage and born in the reign of King Gustavus III who was known as "The Theatre King". But Didelot did not remain faithful to his king or the country of his birth. The king felt the need to write a rather desperate letter: "The contract of our Didelot is finished after the fire in the theater and I beg you to let him return as soon as possible, so that I again might have the pleasure of seeing him dance, as I cannot understand why we pay him when he is dancing in London". There is also a most interesting chronology of Dances and Pantomimes staged by Didelot. For the student of dance history this book provides the answers to many questions about early ballet. A most valuable document, painstakingly researched.
