TheTamshee says: my wee man O steel just loves his latest bedtime story book. The Iron Man by Ted Hughes. This is a 60's classic describes the unexpected arrival in England of a giant "metal man" of unknown origin who rains destruction on the countryside by attacking industrial farm equipment, before befriending the small boy "Hogarth" and defending the world from an apparent dragon from outer space. Many years later ( 1993) Hughes wrote The Iron Woman as the sequel to the novel The Iron Man.
The plot revolves around environmental themes, with the Iron Woman deciding to teach humanity a lesson for polluting the marsh where she lives.
