(3) K-3 Illustrated by Winslow Pels. Working from a variety of sources, Mayer retells the story of Iron John, the magical wild man who protects the woodland creatures. When Iron John is captured, young Hans sets him free, thereby becoming Iron John's protégé and, eventually, heir to his considerable "wealth and power." The lengthy retelling and the detailed illustrations, full of nature, offer an eye-catching portrait of the mysterious wild man.
