I’ve written a few thoughts on The Flight of the Maidens by Jane Gardam, 2000, an excellent coming of age story about three girls growing up in post war Yorkshire. When Jane Gardam died earlier this year I thought I really need to read her and this was the only book by her available in hardcopy Braille in the RNIB Library… #bookstodon #BookReview #Braille #reading #Storygraph

French educator Louis Braille was born #OTD in 1809. He was the inventor of a reading and writing system named after him, braille, intended for use by visually impaired people.
At just 15 years old, Braille began refining Barbier's system, developing a code based on a six-dot cell structure that allowed for efficient representation of letters, numbers, and even musical notation.
