Female Highwaymen
We think travelling by British Rail is hazardous, but compare it with the stagecoach traveller of yore. Okay, the journey times were similar, but there was every chance that a gun-toting woman “dressed in man’s attire” would relieve you of your possessions. Judging by the number of songs, there were either an awful lot of these ladies of the road, or else the exploits of one or two really captured the public’s imagination.

Alfred Noyes
The Highwayman came riding, riding, riding..." That is how the poem, "The Highwayman," begins. From that point on, you are pulled into the story.

As a child, this was one of my favorite poems. It still is.
