The famous story of a deaf and blind girl's struggle to lead a normal life. Helen Keller became deaf and blind before she was two years old, before she had learned to talk. In language suitable for both young and old, J. W. and Anne Tibble tell the extraordinary story of Helen's struggle to overcome her handicaps-a story of optimism and courage on her part, and of the remarkable patience and ingenuity of her teacher Anne Sullivan, who, against great odds, taught Helen to read, write and talk.
