About this title: Alberic is admired for the great wisdom and storytelling skills he acquired while travelling the world. Frustrated that he never achieved his goal of creating something of lasting value, such as a beautiful piece of stained glass, Alberic sets off to learn a new skill. Color paintings illustrate the story. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as one of the Best Illustrated Children's Books of 1965.
