The Voyage of the Albatross

By Jean Dumiere

"...a simple childhood tale with a message of cosmic birth and rebirth that will echo well into adulthood, much like Antoine de Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince (1943). Poetic in its execution and profound in its message, Dumiere's odyssey begs to be read over and over again to uncover the layers of hidden meaning that lie just below the surface." -- Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

"Truly beautiful. I mean just gorgeous. It reminds me of Le Petit Prince...It's art. It's heartbreaking, and everyone who was or is a child will relate." -- Juliet Bond, LCSW, Director of Development, Piven Theatre Workshop

"In a word, magical." -- John Sparks, Librettist, Founder of New Musicals Inc.
