Guess what? It turns out that the much lauded Benjamin Franklin wasn’t actually one of the architects of American independence after all. Nope. It was his mousey friend “Amos” who came up with all that “we the people” malarkey. After Benjamin had visited King George III and left with short shrift, he returned home to colonies full to brimming with folks like Thomas Jefferson determined that it is time to sever the links with the mother country. Treason? They’ll all be hanged? Well first things first, they have to come up with a declaration that will set their daring vision onto paper and into motion. Thing is, they just can’t find the words. Well, not for the first time, that’s where the eloquent ball of fur comes to the fore and the rest is history… Well if Scottish history sees no problem awarding credit for it’s rebellions to a spider, then why not the US of A according the same accolades to a wily and journalistic critter that is colourfully and mischievously depicted here. It’s good fun with some entertaining dialogue from both the kite-flying mouse and his printer mentor. History, schmistory - maybe there really was a mouse on the moon, too?
