About this Item

Title

  • Deliverance

Summary

  • A fictionalized story of Helen Keller's life from eighteen months when a fever left her blind, deaf, and mute; through childhood as she learned to speak; maidenhood when she graduated from Radcliffe College; and adult life: meeting famous people, flying in an airplane, dancing, riding a horse, fixing her own hair, and inspiring World War I veterans to overcome their handicaps. Includes a dream sequence of Helen as Circe beckoning Ulysses to her island home.
