A fairy tale about a kind king, a witch's spell, and a boy who stammers but never hesitates when it comes to courage.
Robin Song edition by Barbara Alfaro Christopher Alfaro Children eBooks
“Robin’s beautiful singing voice healed the scratchy places in listeners’ hearts.”This is a touching detailed fairy tale in the tradition of Grimm or Anderson. There are levels of curses as well as needs -- “The witch put a second curse on the king, a thing worse than the loss of his voice – the loss of hope.” The tale also addresses the human condition in astute and compassionate ways.
Stutterers (and parents of stutterers) will find a lot to love about this book. First, the reality of stuttering is described frankly and with insight. “In a way a stammerer interrupts himself with his stammer and then others also interrupt him.” At the same time, the value of all voices, stuttering or not, is clearly recognized: “Still, something in Robin was uncomfortable. It was as if he secretly knew, even though it may be damaged, you should never give up your own voice.”
Honestly, this is one of the most touching children’s fairy tales I’ve read in a long time. It has real potential to become a classic BUT there are a few problems holding it back right now. There are a handful of typos (nothing that interferes with comprehension – just annoying. A missing “the” where “The letter told of witch’s curse”; an extras period appearing at random in the middle of a sentence: “At the end of the song the king gave a great sigh. and handed Robin a letter”.
More damaging is the poor formatting. While it’s more than readable, there’s no page break up front so the copyright notice runs into the first paragraph. I think it’s likely that a number of readers will be put off by that blatant poor formatting and never bother to read the actual story, which would be a shame.
The biggest drawback though is the lack of illustrations. This is a story that cries out for deep richly detailed drawings. I sincerely hope the writer hooks up with an illustrator and issues a new version of this story.

A nice short story about a boy with a stammer. Heartwarming and gentle with a good ending. No illustrations beyond the cover.
