Book Description Christy Brown was born a victim of cerebral palsy. But the helpless, lolling baby concealed the brilliantly imaginative and sensitive mind of a writer who would take his place among the giants of Irish literature. This is Christy Brown's own story. He recounts his childhood struggle to learn to read, write, paint and finally type, with the toe of his left foot. In this manner he wrote his bestseller Dawn all the Days. My Left Foot was made into a major and critically acclaimed film starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Christy Brown. 'Riveting, funny and inspiring' Irish Times 'A story of courage that is wise and in no way morbid' Sunday Times
