Description:

Where did he come from? Nobody knows. How was he made? Nobody knows. One stormy night, a colossal metal giant — taller than a house, with a head shaped like a dustbin and eyes that glow like headlamps — topples off a cliff and shatters into pieces on the rocks below. But this is no ordinary creature. Slowly, his scattered parts find each other, click back together, and the Iron Man rises again, hungry for tractors, ploughs and barbed wire. Terrified farmers set a trap, but a brave young boy called Hogarth dares to befriend him. And just in time too — for soon a monstrous space-being arrives demanding to devour the Earth, and only the Iron Man can save the world. Written as a bedtime tale in five magical chapters, this poetic modern fairy-tale about courage, kindness and peace is a true classic.
