RISE UP AND WALK

by Turnley Walker ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 4, 1950

A very personal and almost sketchily scant account of an attack of infantile paralysis as it was experienced by the author, this follows the five months spent after the onset of the disease in a New York City hospital. The world as it seemed from the four corners of a bed; the feelings of hostility, anxiety, fear to which they were all prone; the ""life raft"" of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis; the visits from his wife, his publisher; the other victims- particularly the children; and finally the victory after much doubt and hope- as he walks again. Not as extensive a record as last year's My Place To Stand (Bentz Plagnn -- Farrar, Straus), this is a little insubstantial for the general market.
