Ben and Me: An Astonishing Life of Benjamin Franklin by His Good Mouse Amos - Discovered, Edited, and Illustrated by Robert Lawson
"SINCE THE RECENT death of my lamented friend and patron Ben Franklin, many so-called historians have attempted to write accounts of his life and his achievements. Most of these are wrong in so many respects that I feel the time has now come for me to take pen in paw and set things right."
Doesn't this must make you want to keep reading?
Oh, this sounds captivating...what a wonderful concept!
