Description: This listing is for a brand new book from KCP Poetry (An Imprint of Kids Can Press) titled The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes; the illustrator is Murray Kimber. It is recommended for use with middle school students. Synopsis: "The Highwayman" is the second book in a unique series -- Visions in Poetry -- featuring classic poems illustrated by outstanding contemporary artists. Originally published in 1907, "The Highwayman" is a haunting ballad of doomed love. Seldom have mood and character been so memorably evoked. The pounding rhythm of the rhyme, the dramatic pacing and the power of the imagery have made it one of the most popular read-alouds of all time. Murray Kimber's stunning noir interpretation is a darkly brilliant achievement that stays true to the poem's tragic spirit." Notably, the illustrator has updated the horse in the original poem to a motorcycle, and King George's soldiers as FBI agents, and relocated the action from rural England to the streets of Art Deco-era New York City. Really dramatic illustrations! This hardcover is in brand new condition. All pages are crisp, clean, and sturdily bound; even the cover is nice and smooth. The left edge of the cover is a nice textured black spine; there is a transparent page over the title page with the words, "Look for me by moonlight." (Picture #4) You won't be disappointed!
