(W/A/CA) Joseph Lambert. Helen Keller lost her ability to see and hear before she turned two years old. But in her lifetime* she learned to ride horseback and dance the foxtrot. She graduated from Radcliffe. She became a world famous speaker and author. She befriended Mark Twain* Charlie Chaplin* and Alexander Graham Bell. And above all* she revolutionized public perception and treatment of the blind and the deaf. The catalyst for this remarkable life's journey was Annie Sullivan* a young woman who was herself visually impaired. Hired as a tutor when Helen was six years old* Annie broke down the barriers between Helen and the wider world* becoming a fiercely devoted friend and lifelong companion in the process.In Annie Sullivan and the Trials of Helen Keller* author and illustrator Joseph Lambert examines the powerful bond between teacher and pupil* forged through the intense frustrations and revelations of Helen's early education. The result is an inspiring* emotional* and wholly original take on the story of these two great Americans.
