Freddy the Pig Series
Back before World War II, Walter R. Brooks was bored one day and wrote Freddy Goes to Florida. Twenty-six wonderful books later, Walter Brooks died. All his books went out of print, but they were not forgotten. Coming back to the shelves through Overlook Press, Freddy the Pig is still a character to be well loved. These are some of our favorite books, but many are still not in print. You may have to juggle your way through inter-library loans to read the whole series.
