Henry Fawcett lost his sight in a shooting accident at twenty-five and refused to let it end his ambitions. Winifred Holt, founder of the Lighthouse for the blind, follows him from boyhood in Salisbury and student days at Cambridge to his professorship of political economy, his marriage to Millicent Garrett, Parliament and the Post Office under Gladstone, with a foreword by Viscount Bryce.
An encouraging life written to show the blind what was possible, and still a moving account of Victorian determination. Download the free EPUB.
