The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, And the highwayman came riding- Riding-riding- The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door. In 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.

This rousing Georgian-era romance of love and larceny is “anything but predictable”—from the award-winning author of Up Close (Historical Novel Society). Jack Blythe, heir to the Earl of Lampton, is a man who loves a good bet. So when a masked woman brandishing a pistol holds up his carriage in Hounslow Heath, he turns the robbery into a wager with his profligate cousin: Which of them can track down and capture the beautiful outlaw first? But the determined nobleman is risking much more than a hundred guineas . . . As Jack and the elusive highwaywoman enter into a swashbuckling game of cat and mouse, he discovers that his quarry is a virtuous and selfless peasant with more than just her identity to hide. Though he vowed to bring her to justice, Jack now wishes to protect the brave yet vulnerable woman from a mysterious threat. But how far can he trust a desperate thief who’s already stolen his heart?
