A little about the book

Keller recalls learning language and discovering what she could do with it, from her early lessons with Anne Sullivan to formal schooling. Her account makes room for the practical difficulty of getting books and instruction in usable forms.

The accompanying letters and reports let readers see the work from more than one position. They give particular weight to episodes that the later autobiography can only recall in retrospect.
