Billy Gilman

I recently read Billy Gilman's interview on CMT in which he said that his all time favorite book (so far) was The Prince of Whales. - I am delighted that he has chosen my son's book as his favorite. The Prince of Whales was first published in 1985 so that makes them about the same age.

So now we have Toby, The Dream Singer in the Whale world harmonizing with Billy Gilman who is singing Mattie Stepanek's Heart Songs! What a trio they make!!
And what a joy! Thank you so much!


Free Willy's one thing, but...

It's been years since I read this book, but I've never forgotten it. Most books I read tend to be forgotten as I read other books, but I remember this book so strongly because it almost made me cry. It's also surreal and New Age, what with talking animals and astral planes, but it's a beautiful book. Although primarily a children's book, it's more than a great read for an adult. There's nothing else to be said, except to please read the book.

Billy Gilman

I have a personal interest in The Prince of Whales and over the years since it was first published , it always seemed to have a positive influence on the thousands of readers who have enjoyed it. I am fairly biased being R.L.'s mother but I must use this letter to thank Billy Gilman for naming The Prince of Whales as his all time (so far) favorite book in a recent 20 question interview with CMT. I am so happy that he enjoyed reading it - but his enjoyment couldn't equal our joy in listening to him sing Mattie's Heart Songs.
All the best to Billy and Mattie

Worth a read, if this sort of thing befits you.

A whale-child saves the world via his singing. Fluctuates between cartoonish cheesiness and original genius that resembles nothing else I've seen. Sounds like they based it on a dream. Distinctly New Age, as evidenced by the environmentalism, metaphysics (some characters are from the astral plane) and cuddly harmony-and-healing. The writing style is a bit uneven- looks like Fisher wrote the book in fits and starts, which I can empathise with. Despite any cheesiness or traces of amateurity, the book was so touching that it practically made me cry at several points. Uplifting. It's a children's book, but adults can enjoy it too, and will get more out of it. Read it at the beach, and it will be twice as good.

A wonderful book for young minds...

This book captured my brain for years. I don't know how it ever got away from me, but I loved this book with all my heart. It was probably the book that most influenced my lifelong love of reading. It's always a pleasure to revisit such an old friend. I still remember much of the story, and I'm certain that I could read it now and be just as engrossed. If you want your child to become a reader, and he or she shows a bend towards fantasy, or is a whale lover, this book ought to cinch the deal.
