My sisters and I have every line of this play memorized, and to this day we can name every founding father presented in the text!

Witty, comical, and historically acurate, this book is a must for the fan of history and/or historical fiction. In addition, the movie version starring William Daniels is a must.
One of the greatest musicals ever written, with one of the best scores.
