  • THE FREDDY the PIG SERIES by Walter R. Brooks Illustrated by Kurt Wiese
    THE FREDDY THE PIG SERIES by Walter R. Brooks illustrated by Kurt Wiese Introduction With the 1927 publication of To and Again (later re-titled Freddy Goes to Florida), Walter R. Brooks began a series that would ultimately stretch to twenty-six volumes and become a classic of 20th century American children's literature. Especially memorable for the richness of their characterizations, the books about the pig nonpareil and his many friends are also unforgettable celebrations of the value of friendship and the practical virtues of loyalty, steadfastness, kindness, and simply doing the right thing. Always inventive in their plotting, satisfying in the authenticity of their rural and small town settings, filled with memorable phrases and homely wisdom, the Freddy books capture the same kind of American spirit as do the Homer Price books by Robert McCloskey, E.B. White's Charlotte's Web, and Robert Lawson's Ben and Me and Rabbit Hill. Like these other masters, Brooks never underestimated or wrote down to his readers. His respect for them is reflected in the richness of his language and the thoughtfulness of his themes. Most importantly, perhaps, his are among the very first enduringly significant humorous children's books of the 20th century. And they contain the best kind of humor, still fresh and relevant to today's readers; it arises naturally out of character and incongruity, is embellished with wonderfully inventive and witty word play, and is never mean or hurtful. It springs from both the mind AND the heart, a reason the Freddy books are universally beloved by readers of all ages.
