This delightful book is a collection of incidental pieces that reveal littleknown aspects of the life and personality of Benjamin Franklin. Written by the doyenne of Franklin scholars, it conveys Franklins humor, resiliency, courage, and intelligence, and his faith in a better future.The selections are based on ClaudeAnne Lopezs research in the treasure trove of nearly thirty thousand documents on Franklin assembled at Yale University. They include a detailed refutation of an antiSemitic forgery attributed to Franklin and currently circulating on the Internet; three minidetective stories showing Franklin on the fringes of the espionage world; discussions of Franklins efforts to outfit Washingtons army and to choose the first dinner set for the Foreign Service; and the tale of the misadventures of a French utopian scheme he sponsored. The only piece of fiction in the book is an imaginary party during which, on the first anniversary of his death, six illustrious Frenchmen discuss Franklins influence on their country. Lopez has provided brief personal introductions to each of the pieces, giving her reasons for writing them and in the process threading the essays together.
