 "A
biography of Franklin written with a sweep and verve worthy of its subject and
brilliantly illustrated."--The New Yorker
This superb biography of the printer, statesman, author,
reformer, inventor and ambassador reveals a Benjamin Franklin, who in his time,
lived more lives than many men together. The brilliance and inexhaustible
ingenuity of mind that fascinated his contemporaries continues to charm us now
in Daugherty's work of perhaps America's most distinguished citizen and
interesting human being. As with all of Daugherty's books, his illustrations of
2 and 3 color compliment the meaty text of Poor Richard. 175 pages, Trade PB,
