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.

Though her father was the legendary highwayman who sacrificed his life in a futile attempt to save the woman he loved, down-to-earth Lizzie Tynsdale has no use for romance. She has enough to do running the inn she's inherited without falling for a handsome face or a pair of broad shoulders. But when a mysterious guest appears at the inn one stormy night, it seems history is destined to repeat itself. Lizzie Tynsdale has no use for romance. Her mother fell in love with the legendary Highwayman, with disastrous results. Lizzie isn’t about to make the same mistake. Besides, she’s too busy running the inn she inherited to waste time mooning over a handsome face.

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?

A chambermaid in the house of Tremeshton, Faris Shayhan well knew torment, despair, and trepidation. To Faris it seemed the future stretched long and desolate before her—as bleak and dark as a lonesome midnight path. Still, the moon oft casts hopeful luminosity to light one’s way. So it was that Lady Maranda Rockrimmon cast hope upon Faris—set Faris upon a different path—a path of happiness, serenity, and love.Thus Faris abandoned the tainted air at Tremeshton in favor of the amethyst sunsets of Loch Loland Castle and her new mistress, Lady Rockrimmon. Further, it was on the very night of her emancipation that Faris first met the man of her dreams—the man of every woman’s dreams—the rogue Highwayman of Tanglewood.Dressed in black and astride his mighty steed, the brave, heroic, and dashing rogue Highwayman of Tanglewood stole Faris’s heart as easily as he stole her kiss. Yet the Highwayman of Tanglewood was encircled in mystery—mystery as thick and as secretive as time itself. Could Faris truly own the heart of a man so thoroughly enveloped in twilight shadows and mysterious secrets?
