Publisher's Synopsis
More than any other individual, Edison was responsible for introducing the modern age of electricity.

His gripping story is one of determination and triumph. Other titles in the series: Amelia Earhart, Alexander the Great, Captain Cook, Cleopatra, Eric the Red Galileo, Gandhi, Hans Christian Andersen, Henry Ford, Roald Dahl and William Shakespeare.
