About this listen

This is a beautiful description of Helen Keller's discoveries as she learns to appreciate, through the sense of touch, the world around her. Loss of sight and hearing only increase her joy of life and its treasures.

Helen Keller was deaf and blind from a very early age. in this audiobook, she tells us how she experienced the world she lived in, talks about optimism, and at the end also tells a very brief version of her life story.

She writes beautifully, with poetic expressions, colorful language, and rich vocabulary. it's a true joy to hear about her thoughts and experiences. I highly recommend reading her work.

As for the narrator... at first, I found her style to be charming and cute, but after some listening it got quite tiresome to listen to. Strange rhythm and prosody. I feel like listeners will either love it or hate it.

Either way, definitely worth a listen!
