"In the last year of her life, novelist Gina Berriault wrote and illustrated The Great Petrowski, an ecological fable about a lonely parrot, lost in a nameless rainy city, homesick for a place he can't quite remember. But Petrowski, blessed with a dazzling singing voice, quickly skyrockets from obscurity to international renown. As a magnificent opera star he finds true love and uses his gift of fame to save not only his native rainforest but all creatures of the earth.
The charming illustrations rendered with the same simplicity and wit as the text, will remind some of Sempe, of Edward Gorey, or of Bemelmans' bar at the Hotel Carlyle." "The Great Petrowski is a love story as well as a fable that shows how the gift of talent and dedication to one's art can aid a troubled world."--BOOK JACKET.
