The Accidental Highwayman being the tale of Kit Bristol, his horse Midnight, a mysterious princess and sundry magical persons besides by Ben Tripp
Mistaken identities, swashbuckling horsemen, sword fighting, magic, faeries. The Accidental Highwayman has it all. I think it’s as good as The Princess Bride without the iconic comedic actors and lines. And, it certainly would make a great movie.
The protagonist, Kit, is bound to save a faerie princess from an arranged (and very politically motivated) marriage to King George III of England. Humor, mishaps, high speed horse chases, and we are left hanging after being transported to a different world. It’s non-stop action, but the story line is very basic and like The Princess Bride the action moves Kit and the Princess closer together, but it’s just really just activity - not plot driven.
So, strap on your swords and buckle your seat belts. This is one heck of a ride. It may be a thin plot, but it's a LOT of fun.
