I held my copy hugging it tight, before putting gently in my bag to take home and read last night. They described it as beautiful, gorgeous, a real treasure and all agreed, it would make a beautiful gift for any age. When my copy arrived yesterday, I sat in the staffroom sharing it and everyone was impressed. The end papers have a retro feel to them, almost like wallpaper.Īn absolute winner.
From the choice of colours earthy browns, rusty orange, blues and lots of green, to the format which is novel, chapter book, part graphic novel, the whole production is stunning. This is a full-colour hardback, portrait sized book for everyone. Adventure, friendship, and tolerance, are all messages within this classic story.Ĭhris Mould’s illustrations are simply stunning.
It doesn’t take long before there is mayhem. A young boy named Hogarth finds him, helps fix him and the two become firm friends but not everyone is so keen on the iron man. The story is still the familiar one where a gigantic iron robot turns up out of the blue, all smashed up.
This new edition of Ted Hughes’ classic The Iron Man is simply stunning. The Iron Man came to the top of the cliff.
