Talk:The Tin-Pot Foreign General and the Old Iron Woman

Children's book?
Should this really be classed as a children's book? It's actually a rather vicious satire - isn't calling it a children's book a bit like calling Gulliver's Travels a travelogue? PhilipC (talk) 09:11, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * My thoughts, too. Was the book intended for children ? Or a satire using the style of a children's book ? -- Beardo (talk) 03:10, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Removal of Deletion Notice
I've removed the deletion tag from this article. The author Raymond Briggs is well known having penned The Snowman, When the wind blows and Fungus the Bogeyman. Whilst this is one of his less well-known works it is still notable.

The article clearly requires work but deletion is inappropriate. WCM email 07:12, 31 May 2022 (UTC)


 * It's not a children's book of course, but it's a great work of political and social satire, by an acclaimed artist and story-teller. and of historical importance. The article needs to be improved, not deleted. Sasha (talk) 10:48, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
