Taller than a house, the Iron Giant stood at the top of the cliff, on the very brink, in the darkness. The Iron Giant came to the top of the cliff. Not sure for what reason, but if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to know. Now, some folks on the internet seem to think the title of the book was changed from Man to Giant after the movie was released, but the version I have is from 1988 - ten years before the movie was released - and already there was a shift in the title. Penned by renowned poet (and one-time husband to Sylvia Plath), it's the original novel that inspired the Brad Bird animated, 1998 film classic, The Iron Giant (one of my all-time favorite animated movies). I've done some minor sniffing around since I can across this book at the library the other day. ![]() Originally published as The Iron Man ~ drawings by George Adamson ~ Faber & Faber, 1968 Ted Hughes ~ Dirk Zimmer ~ Harper & Row, 1988 ![]()
