A country child, Alice ran barefoot. On smooth waxed floorboards, over dusty clay in the yard, through icy water in the creekshe refused to wear shoes. After losing her sight and hearing through illness, Alice slowly made her way back to life and became the first deafblind person in Australia to be educated. Her hated shoe was Alices first connection with the world of language as she learnt to sign.
Alices Shoe tells the childhood story of Alice Betteridge, who became known as Australias Helen Keller.
