Highwayman

nThe road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, nAnd the highwayman came riding- nRiding-riding- nThe highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door. nIn Alfred Noyes's thrilling poem, charged with drama and tension, we ride with the highwayman and recoil from the terrible fate that befalls him and his sweetheart Bess, the landlord's daughter. The vivid imagery of the writing is matched by Charles Keeping's haunting illustrations which won him the Kate Greenaway Medal. This new edition features rescanned artwork to capture the breath-taking detail of Keeping's illustrations and a striking new cover. nn
