"Who Killed Cock Robin" is a re-imagining of the classic English poem that dates back to 1744! Cock Robin is slain, a sparrow confesses in the very first verse to being the culprit, (but might she have shot him by accident?) A rich slate of birds offer their unique talents to give the noble robin a proper burial, funeral, and much honour besides.
Gone are the fly, the fish, the beetle and the bull from the original poem, as all the volunteers are now drawn from the wonderful world of birds, including the Swift, whom younger readers may recognize.
