[Rarebooks] FS: SIGNED Helen Keller's JOURNAL

[Charles Agvent]

KELLER, Helen. HELEN KELLER'S JOURNAL 1936-1937. Garden City: Doubleday, 
Doran & Company, Inc., 1938. First Edition. One of an unspecified 
limitation SIGNED by Keller on a tipped-in leaf. The period covered by 
this journal is shortly after the death of Keller's longtime teacher and 
companion, Anne Sullivan. In a June 1938 review of this book from THE 
NEW YORK TIMES, Katherine Woods wrote, "Miss Keller quotes a number of 
beautiful tributes to Anne Sullivan Macy, and all that she herself 
writes of her is beautiful. But the mere existence of such a journal as 
this is the one great and comprehensive tribute. Here in our own day is 
the true Pygmalion, more beautiful, deeper, more significant, than the 
ancient myth. It was the touch of life that the young teacher brought to 
the deaf and blind child half a century ago, and that touch goes on to 
other prisoned clay, and is itself undying." A 1943 Christmas greeting 
by a previous owner on the front endpaper. Mild sunning to spine. Very 
Good, lacking the slipcase. (#017092) $600.00
