The Highwayman Award-winning

The haunting rhyme remembered from every childhood, paired with Charles Keeping’s eerie charcoal illustrations. Thrill at the story of the highwayman and his doomed love for Bess, the landlord’s black-eyed daughter! This handsome book pairs Alfred Noyes’ famous poem with dramatic images which broke the boundaries of children’s book illustration. They even won the Kate Greenaway Medal – the most coveted prize for children’s book artists. Great for performing and reading aloud, this ghostly treat is a lingering pleasure.
