Jenni Beard is dyslexic. She discovered this not as a child but after her son Peter was diagnosed with the condition and she noticed ‘familial’ similarities. She thus writes from a unique and telling standpoint when outlining the much overlooked topic’s history and the controversies which surround it. Sometimes called ‘word-blindness’ (and also known by other names), there is even today debate about whether dyslexia exists at all, or only in specific (or even individual) forms, or as part of other physical or mental conditions.

From Percy to Peter traces these arguments, both historically and, centrally, during, the years of the Word Blind Centre. Skilfully weaving the experience of the dyslexic with the opinions of top diagnostic experts and opinion formers, Jenni Beard supports her wide-ranging survey of dyslexia with a wealth of facts, anecdotes and extracts from learned writings.
