A young boy called Hogarth befriends him and Hogarth and the extraordinary being end up defending and saving the earth when it is attacked by a fearsome ""space-bat-angel-dragon"" from outer space.

A stunning production... Spectacular. (Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times) This attractive gift book with its distinctive artwork... feels very modern and relevant. The message of co-operation and peace applies to any era and the stark illustration conjures up an atmosphere of suspicion and fear until the red-hot fires of the ultimate contest give way to the beautiful music of the spheres. (Daily Mail) A stunning classic gift edition... Laura Carlin's dramatic composition has an emotional depth and sense of excitement that lends itself beautifully to the story. (Lindsey Stainer, Bookseller) This new edition of Ted Hughes' wonderful Iron Man is an absolute delight. Stunning visual images accompany the familiar texts to great effect, and the overall production is superb - everyone will want one of these! (The Bookseller Children's Booksellers' (Choice)
