About this ebook
Originally published between 1927 and 1958, the 26 classic books about Freddy the Pig are now going on to delight a sixth generation of children. Freddy the Pig, the “Renaissance Pig” (The New York Times Book Review) of Bean Farm, is back to thrill his fans of all ages in facsimile editions of these all-American children’s classics.
In Freddy Goes Camping, Mr. Camphor’s aunts, Minerva and Elmira, are staying with him, much to his disgust. “There’s two kinds of aunts,” he says. “There’s the regular kind, and then there’s the other kind. Mine are the other kind.” He enlists Freddy’s aid in an attempt to rid his house of the ladies, with the result that Freddy and his chums become entangled with some extremely unfriendly ghosts in an abandoned summer hotel. Freddy camps out, goes canoeing, and tosses flapjacks like a pro when he’s not mixing it up with the eerie Mr. Eha . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Walter R. Brooks' "Freddy" series has been charming readers since the 1930s. Most agree that Brooks hit his stride in the 1940s. Set in upstate New York, the series follows the adventures of Freddy, a pig, and the other animals of the Bean farm. Freddy is a pig extraordinaire-- poet, newspaper editor, football player, and detective. In this outing, he goes undercover to again foil his nemesis, Herbert Garble. These were among my favorite books when I was a child, and it was thanks to Knopf's practice of appending a colophon at the end of the books it published that I first began paying attention to type (Baskerville, in this case). I have been revisiting the Bean farm over the past couple of years. Brooks' gentle satire holds up well, and when reading them these days, I "hear" them mentally in Garrison Keillor's voice.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5While many of the books in the Freddy series could take place anywhere in the rural United States, some of them benefit more strongly from their upstate New York setting. This is one of them. The Adirondacks are a perfect place for a pig to go camping, especially when he's a detective going undercover.
