Iron Hans: A Grimms' Fairy Tale
By Stephen Mitchell
Illustrated by Matt Tavares
A deft retelling with elegant illustrations, gracefully unfolding a Grimms tale about pride, humility, wealth and poverty.
Deep in a forsaken wood, a wild man keeps watch over a golden spring. Iron Hans is nine feet tall, as brown as rust, with hair to his knees. He is cursed, a terror to all, until a prince finds the courage to befriend him. But when he betrays Iron Hans's trust, the prince must make his way in the world alone, penniless and unknown - except for, in the end, a little help from a certain forgiving wild man.
- Classic fairy tale retold for a new generation.
- Emphasises the importance of doing the right thing.
