About this audiobook
This book offers a fresh, engaging retelling of Benjamin Franklin’s life for modern readers—especially students, educators, and curious minds. It began with a child's reaction to the original Autobiography, inspiring the author to create a clear, warm, and human portrait of Franklin that’s both historically sound and highly accessible. Each of the twelve narrative chapters focuses on a pivotal stage of Franklin’s life, from his Boston childhood to his final days in Philadelphia, showcasing his practical wisdom, inventive spirit, and civic contributions. With humor, clarity, and brevity, the book captures Franklin as more than a founding icon: he’s a relatable figure whose resilience and curiosity speak directly to today’s challenges. Rooted in primary sources yet free of academic clutter, the book is both a narrative biography and a manual of civic imagination. Readers are invited to reflect on their own lives, habits, and hopes through Franklin’s enduring example.
