The Accidental Highwayman is the first swashbuckling excitement for adults by talented author and illustrator Ben Tripp. This thrilling tale of dark magic and real love is the perfect account for enthusiasts of William Goldman's The Princess Bride-to-be. In 18th-century England, young Christopher "Kit" Bristol is the unwitting servant of notorious highwayman Whistling Jack port. One dark night time, Kit locates his master hemorrhage from a mortal wound, dons the man's traveling cloak to get help, and changes the span of his life forever. Recognised incorrectly as Whistling Jack port and on the run from redcoats, Kit is catapulted into an environment of magic and wonders he thought the stuff of fairy stories. Bound by enchanting law, Kit takes up his master's goal to save a rebellious fairy princess from an established marriage to King George III of England. But his activity is not a fairly easy one, for Kit must contend with the feisty Princess Morgana, gobling attacks, and a enchanting map that portends his destiny: as a hanged man after the gallows.... Admirers of typical fairytale fantasies such as Stardust by Neil Gaiman and can find much to love in this amazing YA debut by Ben Tripp, the kid of one of America's most favorite illustrators, Wallace Tripp (Amelia Bedelia). Following in his father's footsteps, Ben has woven illustrations throughout the story.
