The highwayman / Alfred Noyes ; with illustrations by Murray Kimber


This modernized, film-noir interpretation of Alfred Noyes The Highwayman is one in a series of classic poems illustrated by contemporary artists. Although the modern images of a motorcycle placed alongside the poem's "tlot-tlot" of the horses hooves are difficult to reconcile, the darkness and violence portrayed by both this 1907 poem and the modern images are sure to capture the imagination of teen readers.

The Highwayman can be found on the shelves at
