"Inspired by The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin." -- inside front jacket flap. Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
"Young Benjamin Franklin wants to be a sailor, but his father won't hear of it. The other trades he tried bored him through and through. But each time he fails to find a career, he took some important bit of knowledge with him, and that tendency is exactly what made him the versatile genius we remember today." -- inside front jacket flap.
