[stylist] does anyone

[Donna Hill]

Ben,
There are a lot of blind nonfiction writers who do autobiographical 
books.  If that's what you're looking for, I would suggest a call to NLS 
for help.  Earlier on this list, we talked about Tom Sullivan, the 
popular blind musician from a few decades back who has several books.  
As far as fiction ... I came across a blind woman writer named Francis 
something who wrote children's books.  I'm thinking it was Francis 
Brown, from England maybe a century ago.  I asked about her on this 
list, but got no response.  There was a short bio with other titles from 
her along with one of her short stories in an NLS book I borrowed called 
"The Oxford Book of Modern Fairy Tales."  Sorry, can't remember the 
editor's name, but NLS has it at least as a recorded book.
Donna
