Summary

COI synopsis: Who would have thought that blind children could play football, billiards, or take photographs? Vicki Luke visits a special school for the blind in London where the children are doing all these things. The emphasis is on mobility, so that when they leave, the children will be able to lead as full and active a life as possible.
