THE COMPLEATED AUTOBIOGRAPHY BY BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

Benjamin Franklin never completed his autobiography. Because of the efforts of Mark Skousen, one of Franklin’s descendants, who meticulously compiled and edited Franklin’s papers, this title fills the void, using Franklin’s own words. Richard Ferrone’s performance captures the many facets of this brilliant, fascinating, and multitalented American. Ferrone portrays Franklin’s intelligence and wit with an understated style that brings out a personality that continues to captivate and intrigue. Ferrone clearly enjoys “being” Franklin, and listeners will be similarly engaged by this book, which provides candid answers to many questions historians have pondered. THE COMPLEATED AUTOBIOGRAPHY is the next best thing to having an autobiography completed by Franklin himself. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 07]
