Out of Darkness

The Story of Louis Braille

By: Russell Freedman

Narrated by: Nelson Runger

Blind since the age of three, young Louis Braille wanted to be able to read. He spent every spare moment punching holes in paper with a stylus until, by the age of 15, he had invented his own alphabet. This vivid biography, written by an award-winning author, allows young listeners the opportunity to identify with and to appreciate a real life hero.©1997 Russell Freedman (P)1998 Recorded Books, LLC.
