An older picture book biography of the famous Quaker who founded Pennsylvania but spent much of his life in jail for the principles of tolerance he held dear.
“In his absorbing picture-book biography aimed at a slightly older audience, Kroll immediately informs readers that Penn was a rebel. . . The text is highly event-oriented and packed with information. . .” Kirkus Reviews
