The Wizard of Sound
A Story about Thomas Edison
From the Series Creative Minds Biographies
In 1877 a young man developed a way to reproduce sounds so they could be heard again and again. This young man, Thomas Edison, has since been heralded as one of the world’s greatest inventors. This inspiring biography details the creation of Edison’s favorite invention, the phonograph. Young readers will also discover that Edison did not allow his handicap (he was hard of hearing) to slow him down.
