Book Overview

One the most memorable, entertaining and beautiful storybooks ever published, in which good triumphs over evil in a delightfully unexpected way

In this timeless tale, three robbers wearing tall black hats walk the roads at night, terrifying everyone they meet. But one day, they encounter an orphan girl named Tiffany, who isn't scared of them at all ...

An ALA Book award winner, this classic story of mystery and suspense celebrates the triumph of good over evil. Written and illustrated by one of the world's most acclaimed and award-winning children's authors, The Three Robbers has been translated into 16 languages and has sold millions of copies since it was first published.

Tomi Ungerer has been described as 'the direct natural descendant of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen' and, like all the best fairy tales, The Three Robbers is by turns scary, charming and surprising.
