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. Then he finally meets his comeuppance, in the form of a cunning duck . . .

A fabulous, rollicking rhyme, in the style of the famous Alfred Noyes poem, ‘The Highwayman'.
