Review

A beautiful new edition...the silver 'riveted' image on the jacket invites readers to delve into this wonderfully imagine, hugely challenging, modern myth. -- Carousel

A beautiful 25th anniversary edition of Ted Hughes's The Iron Woman, the incredible sequel to The Iron Man, with the stunning original wood engravings from Andrew Davidson and a foreword by Katherone Rundell

The streaming shape reared . . . like a sudden wall of cliff, pouring cataracts of black mud and clotted, rooty lumps of reeds. Mankind for has polluted the seas, lakes and rivers. The Iron Woman has come to take revenge. Lucy understands the Iron Woman's rage and she too wants to save the water creatures from their painful deaths. But she also wants to save her town from total destruction. She needs help. Who better to call on but Hogarth and the Iron Man . . . ? A sequel and companion volume to Ted Hughes' The Iron Man, this new, child-friendly setting will be treasured by a new generation of readers.

Ted Hughesis widely considered one of the greatest poets of his generation and indeed one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. He was born in Yorkshire in 1930, and was Poet Laureate from 1984 until his death in 1998. Hughes co-founded the Children's Laureateship with Michael Morpurgo, and was founding president of Farms for City Children - a charity that offers urban children the opportunity to live and work on a farm in the heart of the countryside. He was also the driving force behind the Arvon Foundation. In 1974 Hughes was awarded the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry. In 1977 he was awarded an OBE for services to Literature, and was awarded the OM in 1998. His most widely read classic children's story The Iron Man, has been adapted for both stage and screen, and is cited as one of the greatest children's books of all time.
