The Iron Man Paperback – 1 Feb. 2018

This is such a brilliant story. I first read this to my class of eight year old children when I began teaching over 20 years ago. Then over the years I have revisited it with many other children and they have unfailingly loved it. The film version in the 1980's, renamed The Iron Giant, was good but the book is infinitely better. This edition has some beautiful illustrations although for me the original black and white images by Andrew Davidson remain iconic.

I bought this book because I wanted a foreign student to enjoy the descriptive language of Ted Hughes.

Lovely book. Made a great gift

The story is a classic and still aa strange and magical as I found it as a child. The illustrations for this edition are often beautiful, my only criticism is that several times the illustrator makes what I think are odd choices about what to depict, showing lots of little people or houses, rather than the iron man, which is obviously what my 4-year-old is interested in seeing. But it's still a lovely edition.

Brilliant book, the children at school really love this book compared to the original book - very engaging - top marks to the illustrator

An amazing story and such a lovely book with many drawings.

Lovely quality edition of the classic story with colour pictures and nice thick paper.

An absolute gem that should be on every bookshelf.
