The Story of Helen Keller

Illustrations by Gerald McCann. Seven-year-old Helen lives in a dark and silent world. She cannot see. She cannot hear. She cannot speak. Then one day, into this prison of silence comes a young woman - Anne Sullivan Macy. She is determined to open the doors of Helen's dark world. It is not easy to teach little Helen. Helpless and bewildered, she has become a wild, bad-tempered child. But the miracle is accomplished. Helen does learn - to read, to write, to live a full life.
