Apparently Michael Faraday was a bookbinder as a child. According to Gale Encyclopedia of Biography - "At the age of 14 he was apprenticed to a bookbinder and bookseller. He read ravenously and attended public lectures, including some by Sir Humphry Davy."There is apparently a plaque at the building where he worked in London commemorating his apprenticeship there.Faraday became fascinated with science, particularly electricity, while reading the books he worked on. Malcolm Longair in his Theoretical Concepts in Physics has a section on Faraday in which he talks about Faraday's interactions with Davy. He became a notetaker for Davy after Davy was blinded in an explosion. Faraday also toured Europe with Davy.Longair lists a biography of Faraday by J. M. Thomas: Michael Faraday and the Royal Institution: The Genius of Man and Place.

Faraday had a childhood typical of the English working class about 1800. His blacksmith father could not afford any formal education for his son, and so Michael was apprenticed to a bookbinder between age 14 and 20.

Noted scientist Humphrey Davy recognized Faraday's talent and became his mentor. Faraday, despite initially being treated as an inferior, eventually showed his genius in science.
