The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

By: Benjamin Franklin

Narrated by: Fredd Wayne

Ben Franklin's own lively story of his early years is a unique, fascinating, and influential look at this American founding father. It has been taught in schools as a moral tract, as a guide to self-improvement, and as the Great American Success Story. It also is relished both for its insight into colonial life and the mind of the man who most affected the development of our democratic form of government. Finally, it is savored for its language; Franklin's wit, his well-turned phrase, and his humanity shine through.(P)1997 The Audio Partners, Inc.

What Happened to the Balance if Franklin’s Life???

Very much interested in Franklin’ s life I listened carefully to the narrative. It stopped while Franklin was in England getting royal permission to tax the proprietors. Very unsatisfactory. :(

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Interesting view into the life and thinking of Ben Franklin and pre-revolutionary America. remarkable man who shaped many events and was dedicated to a life of service and virtue.

Sketch of A Singular Patriot in the Making

In his own words, which are droll and heartwarming at once, Mssr. Franklin told of his Colonial coming-of-age and adult life. Bringing to mind that Founding Fatherly discourse that have caused so many over the centuries to love him above all, save perhaps Washington.
