Iron John: A Book About Men is a book by American poet Robert Bly published in 1990 by Addison-Wesley.
It analyzes Iron John, a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, in Bruno Bettelheim fashion, to find lessons especially meaningful to men.[1] Bly believes that this fairy tale contains lessons from the past of great importance to modern men.
It builds upon material in "What Do Men Really Want?: A New Age Interview With Robert Bly" by Keith Thompson, New Age Journal, May 1982 and first appeared as a series of pamphlets. Comparable to Clarissa Pinkola Estés's book Women Who Run With the Wolves.
The cover was illustrated by Bruce Waldman
