There was a man, and he had nought... but when two nasty robbers come to steal his riches, they find there is quite literally nothing to take!

How does a penniless man escape? With a whole lot of chimney-climbing and quiet determination!

In a tale told almost entirely through rich, visual storytelling, our clever hero creeps up to the chimney-pot, slips down on the other side, and vanishes into the night—running fourteen miles in fifteen days and never once looking back.

Based on the traditional nursery rhyme and brought to life through Albin Ingelherner’s charming and whimsical illustrations, The Man Who Had Nought is a masterclass in visual pacing. With very few words on the page and high drama in the pictures, it offers a quiet, suspenseful journey that unfolds at a gentle, soothing pace.

Why families will love it:

  • Visual Storytelling: Features sparse text and dramatic, detailed illustrations that let young readers follow the clever escape entirely through the artwork.

  • Charming Artwork: Packed with delightful, soft, and whimsical illustrations that turn a simple pursuit into an engaging visual adventure.

  • The Ultimate Wind-Down: A peaceful, low-word count read designed to capture a child's imagination while quieting active minds for bedtime.

Perfect for bedtime routines, quiet storytimes, and little ones who love a clever chase told in pictures!
