Description

There's trouble on the Bean Farm. First a toy train disappears. Then Prinny the Dog's dinner is missing and Egbert the Rabbit is nowhere to be found. The animals of Bean Farm need a detective, and, having just finished reading Sherlock Holmes, Freddy and his partner Mrs. Wiggins the Cow set up a detective agency in the barn. But when Freddy's best friend Jinx the Cat is framed for a dastardly deed, all of Freddy's detecting skills are put to the test. From 1927 to 1958, Walter R. Brooks wrote 26 books starring Freddy, one of the great characters in American children's literature. Freddy is Everypig—he oversleeps, overeats, daydreams, and writes poetry. He's even a little bit lazy, and when he's scared, his tail uncurls. Yet when there's trouble among the animals on Bean Farm, Freddy always rises to the occasion, and is by turns a cowboy, explorer, politician, publisher, poet, magician, banker, campaign manager, pilot, and ace detective. Long out of print, the Freddy series was reintroduced in 2001, with Kurt Wiese's original ink drawings, to the delight of readers 7 to 11 and listeners of all ages.
