THE LAMPLIGHTERS

They arrived on a dark and stormy night, with
the rain pouring cold from the black skies.  No
one saw how they came or from which direction
they came.  Some say they appeared with the
first drop of rain, some say the last and some
that they never left. Their names were
unknown.  They came to be known as the
lamplighters.

When a cold storm devastates Argwings’ hometown,
everyone blames it on the two strangers who have
suddenly appeared as if from nowhere and taken up
residence with him in the abandoned house.  Since
their arrival, the sun, the moon and the stars have all
disappeared from the sky, crops and animals have
died and the magical tree houses have begun to
decay.  Everything looks sad and gloomy.  It seems
that the town will die completely unless the town does
something about the strangers.  Then, just as the
villagers prepare to invade Argwings’ house and drive
them out, the strangest thing happens.

In this enchanting and wonderful tale, the author
examines what happens to a community’s life and
character as it faces up to the strange and
unexpected.
