5.0 out of 5 stars An Autobiography by a Deafblind Author, 5 Aug 2005

By	G. Buchanan "Classical Music Editor at classi... (UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Story of My Life (Signet Classics) (Paperback)

This book is Helen Keller's autobiography and is somewhat unusual because Helen Keller was deafblind. It is beautifully written and although I don't necessary agree with all the conclusions drawn by the author of the introduction, I found the autobiography very moving to read. Much of the time Helen wrote in a way that you would not realise she could neither see nor hear anything around her.

The fact that Miss Keller was not deaf from birth but became deafblind as a very small child following an illness makes her achievements particularly incredible. She had to re-learn her communication skills and this is due in no small part to her teacher and mentor, Annie Sullivan. Miss Keller came from a wealthy family who were prepared to go to endless lengths to help their daughter to live a fulfilling life, and it is thanks to them and to Miss Sullivan that we have Miss Keller's writings and pioneering work for deaf and deafblind people.

This is an incredible book to read and it also provides some interesting cameos of some of the people Miss Keller met (such as Mark Twain) because her letters are included at the end.

A heartwarming & at times funny autobiography showing how even the most severe disabilities of deaf/blindness can be overcome.
