The Most Wonderful Being

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

'I seldom think of my limitations, and they never make me sad... believe that all through these dark and silent years God has been using my life for a purpose I do not know. But one day I shall understand, and then I will be satisfied.'

Helen Keller, one of the most remarkable women of her time, was born 100 years ago this month. Blind and deaf from the age of two, she became a world-famous figure and a tireless worker for those with handicaps similar to her own.
