Lamplighter volumes are recognizable right away by their beautiful, high-quality bindings.  But the other unique feature of a Lamplighter book, in contrast to other publications of the same title, is that the Lamplighter editions have been enhanced with helpful footnotes and woven with threads of Biblical truths that will be etched into an awakened moral conscience.

The Three Weavers (Annie Fellows Johnston)
$14.00A unique and winsome allegory for fathers to read to their daughters, set in medieval times. As the story goes, once upon a time there were three weavers, and to each was born a daughter. The ‘watcher of weavers’ prophesied, ‘A royal prince shall seek to wed thy child’ — but she must weave a mantle for the prince that will be fair to look upon with rich cloth of gold, and it must fit him as perfectly as the falcon’s feathers fit the falcon.
Each father is responsible to teach his daughter how to prepare for her prince. When should he begin? The father’s approach, coupled with his daughter’s cooperation, will decide the fate of her future.
Themes: Seek lasting happiness rather than momentary pleasure! The wisdom and joy of purity and a strong father-daughter relationship. Also focuses on wise choices, consequences, virtue and purity.
