Benjamin Franklin Audio Books on Tape and CD

In Poor Richard's Almanac Ben Franklin wrote, "There's a difference between imitating a man and counterfeiting him." But America's most remarkable Founding Father would have taken great delight in Fredd Wayne's inspired performance in The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. AudioFile magazine declared "one can hardly imagine a better reader than Wayne," who has toured the world for over 20 years with his one-man show, Ben Franklin, Citizen, and "sounds like we imagine Franklin to have been: sprightly, humorous, reflective, friendly, sometimes pensive, like a wise next-door neighbor."

According to Walter Isaacson, author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life, Franklin is "the perfect embodiment of middle-class virtues," which is a reason for the recent renewed interest in him. In this colorful and intimate narrative, Isaacson provides a full sweep of Franklin's amazing life, how Frankin helped to create the American character, and why he has a particular resonance in the 21st century.
