Description
A clanking iron giant lies smashed on the rocks below, its parts stirring and reaching out for one another. As it rises, it is clear that the Iron Man is ready to walk again, and it is very hungry. This beautifully crafted tale tells the story of a mysterious giant "metal man" who wreaks havoc on the countryside by attacking the neighbouring farms and eating all their machinery. A young boy befriends him, and together they defend and save the earth when it is attacked by a fearsome creature from outer space. Ted Hughes' timeless story, with its message of peace and hope, is a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a compelling and exciting tale.
