Matt Tavaress luminous illustrations and Stephen Mitchells wry text transform this classic Grimms fairy tale into a splendid edition to treasure."Deep in a forsaken wood, a wild man keeps watch over a golden spring."Iron Hans is nine feet tall and as brown as rust, with hair to his knees. He is cursed, a terror to all, until a young prince finds the courage to befriend him. But when the boy betrays Iron Hanss trust, he must make his way in the world alone, penniless and unknown - save for a little help from a certain forgiving wild man. Stephen Mitchells deft retelling and Matt Tavaress elegant illustrations gracefully render this timeless Grimms tale about pride and humility, wealth and poverty, and the importance of doing good, whether servant or prince, wild man or king.
