About this book
Benjamin Franklin's boyhood is the setting of this historical fiction by Hezekiah Butterworth, planned from biography and built on episodes from the home side of Franklin's life. The preface gives special weight to Franklin's uncle and godfather, also named Benjamin, a poor poet and philosopher whose hopes mostly ended in disappointment but who, the author says, deeply influenced his nephew. H. Winthrop Peirce drew the pictures, and one caption refers to Little Ben's adventure as a poet.
