“Thomas Paine and the Dangerous Word” Out Now

Disney have released a new book called “Thomas Paine and the Dangerous Word”, which has been written by Sarah Jane Marsh and was illustrated by Edwin Fotheringham.  

Here is the official description:

As an English corset-maker’s son, Thomas Paine was expected to spend his life sewing women’s underwear. But as a teenager, Thomas dared to change his destiny, enduring years of struggle until a meeting with Benjamin Franklin brought Thomas to America in 1774—and into the American Revolution.

Within fourteen months, Thomas would unleash the persuasive power of the written word in Common Sense—a brash wake-up call that rallied the American people to declare independence against the mightiest empire in the world.

This fascinating and extensively researched biography, based on numerous primary sources, will immerse readers in Thomas Paine’s inspiring journey of courage, failure, and resilience that led a penniless immigrant to change the world with his words.
