The Iron Man

A modern fairy tale sizzling with genius. Mighty heroes, terrible villains, incredible black-and-white art. Imagine a superhero story written by one of the greatest poets ever. Now you needn’t just imagine: this is it. At first, the Iron Man wreaks dreadful destruction. He cannot be kept down. But then the terrible Space-Bat-Angel-Dragon attacks Earth from outer space. Only the Iron Man can save us… Written by former Poet Laureate Ted Hughes, this is utterly dramatic storytelling that burns with fierce power.

• A masterful children’s classic by poet Ted Hughes

• Epic story of war and peace with a cool robot hero

• Beautifully written with dramatic black line artwork

• “One of the greatest of modern fairy tales” – Observer
