Captivating dot worlds

Our June Champion
June here at Braille200 was wonderfully diverse. We had pictures, we talked about movies, and it was bloody—well, fake bloody. There were cool songs, and sometimes we even ranted. There was chocolate, too. Why didn’t it win? Oh, right, it was eaten, of course....

Ah, there you are again! Ready to find out how the story unfolds? Very well then: Make yourselves comfortable, sit back, and listen as we reveal how Braille truly found its way into our world. And of course: whether the Land of Letters is destined for a happy ending …...
Land of letters
If someone were to ask us how Braille came into the world, we’d all have an answer. We all know the names: Braille, Barbier, and Haüy. But… is that really the whole truth? Could it be, just maybe!, that everything happened quite differently? That young Louis Braille...
