description: 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! Overlook has begun a program to put back in print the entire Freddy series. 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!
