Freddy The Pig
Freddy the Pig, the “Renaissance Pig” (The New York Times Book Review) of Bean Farm, is back to delight legions of fans of all ages in facsimile editions of these all-American children’s classics.
From 1927 to 1958, Walter R. Brooks wrote 26 books starring one of the great characters in American children’s literature: Freddy the Pig. The Freddy books, widely beloved as classics and deemed the American equivalent of the Pooh stories, are a remarkable achievement in children’s literature.
Since their original publication, the complete series has never been available; librarians across the country report to the Friends of Freddy, the international fan club, an ever increasing demand for their precious wellworn copies; one librarian has resorted to photocopying the books and binding them with hockey-stick tape!
Walter R. Brooks introduced Freddy the Pig in Freddy Goes to Florida. Freddy and his friends from Bean Farm migrate south for the winter, with every mile of the way a terrific adventure complete with bumbling robbers and a nasty bunch of alligators. This is vintage Freddy and the whole ensemble cast at their charming best.
Freddy is Everypig—he over sleeps, overeats, daydreams, and writes poetry. He’s even a little bit lazy. And when he’s scared, his tail uncurls. He is by turns a cowboy, explorer, politician, publisher, poet, magician, banker, campaign manager, pilot, detective. Whatever the situation may call for, Freddy always rises to the occasion!
THE ART OF FREDDYThe Freddy books wouldn't be the same without the charming artwork of Kurt Wiese.
