Read by Victoria Neely

(4.7 stars; 9 reviews)


When Helen Keller's autobiography was first published in 1903, she was a young woman studying at Radcliffe College. In it, Helen shares memories of her childhood, describes how Miss Sullivan helped her learn how to communicate, and reflects on her experiences as a college student.

This audiobook is divided into a three-part special edition. The first part is Helen's autobiography. The second part is a collection of Helen's letters from childhood through 1901. The third part is a supplementary account of Helen’s education, including in-depth passages from her teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, and additional insightful commentary by editor John Albert Macy on Helen’s extraordinary education, personality, speech, and literary style.

Reviews

Amazing, beautiful Helen Keller


(5 stars)

l have known about Helen Keller and her gifted teacher Ms Sullivan since my childhood. But not until this audiobook did l understand how extraordinary Helen was. Her gift for enjoying and embracing life, and determination to achieve such academic success fully despite such challenges of both being blind and deaf. Listening to this has left me less fearful about being deaf or blind (though l hope not to become so!). The reader of this for Librivox is just perfect too. Thank you. Stephanie, South Australia
