Freddy the Detective
Freddy the Detective by Walter Brooks, illustrated by Kurt Wiese (Puffin, 2001). $9.99.
Amazon / IndieBound / Powell's.
Originally published in 1932, Freddy the Detective is an overlooked classic. Freddy is a pig who finds his true calling when he finds a copy of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in the barn one day. The witty and still very fresh vocabulary in which Freddy expresses himself is just delightful! 272 pages.
