In February 1819, a clerk in Paris wrote a ten-year-old boy into an admission register in handwriting the boy would never be able to read. Louis Braille spent the next six years solving that problem, and by fifteen he had built the writing system most blind readers on earth still use.This is an account of those six years. It follows him from a harness maker's workshop in a village east of Paris to a damp former seminary where blind children were taught to read from a library of about fourteen enormous embossed books, and where a retired artillery officer's method of raised dots arrived in 1821 with a flaw nobody but the pupils could feel.He made it possible for a blind person to write anything at all, including an account of their own life. He never wrote his.For readers 13 and up.
