"When Helen Keller was just nineteen months old an illness left Helen completely deaf and blind. Her eyes were eventually surgically removed. Her world contained no sound, no words. Helen’s parents coped for several years by spoiling Helen, but eventually found themselves overwhelmed. Finally they hired a special teacher. The teacher they hired was just a teenager herself. But Annie Sullivan was very determined. Anne and Helen soon clashed but Anne’s stubbornness matched Helen’s intelligence. With Anne’s help, Helen learned to speak and to write. A comprehensive biography of Helen Keller includes 70 photographs from her life."--
