"Children of the Lighthouse" by Nora Archibald Smith is a children’s novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds on a small, rocky island where two siblings, Lesley and Ronald McLean, explore their vibrant, albeit secluded, world filled with animals and curious characters, most notably their friend Stumpy, an old sailor who tells tales and shares adventures. The book likely captures themes of childhood innocence, discovery, and the simple pleasures found in nature and companionship. At the start of the novel, Ronald and Lesley, the only children on the island, engage in playful banter and explore their surroundings. The siblings climb cliffs, ride their donkey named Jenny Lind, and interact with the whimsical Stumpy, who entertains them with stories of his past. As they navigate through their daily adventures, including encounters with a pet crow named Jim and a variety of animals, their carefree life reveals the joys and challenges of growing up in such isolation. The opening establishes a warm, curious atmosphere as it introduces the charming island setting and the delightfully imaginative exploits of the children.
