Dr. Christina says ‘GJ may be a children’s bookshop but a lot of people bought this for a father in their lives last Father’s Day. When it was first published I thought ‘God we won’t sell many books about lighthouses’ but I was indeed incorrect - they sell out every time we restock and I bought one for ourselves and several as gifts too! It’s gorgeous!’
This visually dramatic encyclopaedia of Ireland’s lighthouses is packed with easy-to-digest facts which effortlessly engage young readers with topics such as science, engineering and history. Inside you will:

- test your knowledge with a lighthouse quiz.
For kids hungry for knowledge, this first book in the Gill Illustrated Encyclopedia series is sure to surprise and delight.
