Hezekiah Butterworth’s True to His Home fictionalises the early life of Benjamin Franklin, following young Ben through his childhood in Boston, his early experiments, his apprenticeship in his brother’s print shop, and the formation of the character that would make him one of history’s most celebrated figures.

Butterworth was a skilled author of inspirational historical fiction for young people, and Franklin — curious, industrious, and full of wit — makes an ideal subject. Download the free EPUB for an engaging portrait of America’s original self-made man during his remarkable boyhood years.
