Synopsis Authors

A brand new edition with a foiled cover.

Set to be the television highlight of Christmas 2017

Life is not safe for the other animals, as the villainous Highway Rat gallops along the highway, stealing their food. Clover from a rabbit; nuts from a squirrel - he even steals his own horse's hay.

Will he finally meet his comeuppance, in the form of a cunning duck?

A fabulous, rollicking rhyme, in the style of the famous Alfred Noyes poem, 'The Highwayman', from Julia Donaldson & Illustrator Axel Scheffler, the phenomenally succesful author and illustrator of The Gruffalo, Stick Man and many, many more.

Julia Donaldson

It’s impossible to imagine a time before every child’s bookcase contained a sticky-finger-marked, lovingly well-read copy of The Gruffalo, so great has been the impact of former Children’s Laureate, author, poet and song-writer Julia Donaldson. Her extraordinary imagination has produced classics such as Stick Man and Room on the Broom amongst many others, making her undoubtedly the most popular author for very young children writing today.
