Product Description

The Miracle Worker is a play written by William Gibson in 1957, based on the true story of Helen Keller, a young girl who was deaf and blind from infancy. The play focuses on the relationship between Helen and her teacher, Annie Sullivan, who was hired by Helen's family to help her learn to communicate.The Miracle Worker was first adapted into a film in 1962, and has since been adapted into multiple stage productions and television movies. This particular book, however, is not the original play script, but rather a novelization of the story written by Gerald Maxwell in 1907.Maxwell's novelization follows the same basic plot as Gibson's play, but is written in a more traditional novel format with prose and descriptive passages. The story begins with Annie Sullivan arriving at the Keller family's home to begin teaching Helen. Despite initial resistance from both Helen and her family, Annie is determined to help Helen learn to communicate and become more independent.Through a combination of patience, persistence, and unconventional teaching methods, Annie is eventually able to break through to Helen and help her understand the world around her. Along the way, the two form a deep bond and become lifelong friends.Overall, The Miracle Worker (1907) by Gerald Maxwell is a heartwarming and inspiring story of perseverance, friendship, and the power of education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
