Freddy Goes To Florida

First published between 1927 and 1958, the 26 classic books about Freddy the Pig have delighted five generations of children and are now going on to delight a sixth. Walter R. Brooks introduced Freddy the Pig in Freddy Goes to Florida. Freddy and his friends from Bean Farm migrate south for the winter, with every mile of the way a terrific adventure complete with bumbling robbers and a nasty bunch of alligators. This is vintage Freddy and the whole ensemble cast at their charming best.

Freddy and the other barnyard animals have many adventures when they decide to escape the cold winter by vacationing in sunny Florida.

In Freddy and the Bean Home News, Freddy’s friend Mr. Dimsey, the editor of the Guardian, is ousted for publishing news of Bean Farm in the local newspaper. To ensure that those who are interested might still learn of all the goings-on, Freddy takes it upon himself to found a newspaper of his own and calls it The Bean Home News (the basis for the ever-popular Freddy Fan Club newsletter). It turns out that being a newspaperman isn’t quite as easy as Freddy thought it might be, but with typical aplomb he manages to burn the wires!

Freddy the Pig, an adored character on Mr. Bean's farm, embarks on a captivating detective journey alongside other animal companions. Inspired by Sherlock Holmes, Freddy discovers his own talent for unraveling mysteries. It all begins with the disappearance of Farmer Bean's son's toy train. With his newfound skills, Freddy becomes remarkably adept at catching criminals.

Freddy learns how to fly to stop a man who has been dropping sacks of flour on the circus. This stranger has a nefariouis scheme to make Mr. Boomschmitt run out of money.

Originally published between 1927 and 1958, the 26 classic books about Freddy the Pig are 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 these all-American children’s classics. As you surely know, the Bean Farm animals are great travelers. The heroic events of Freddy Goes to the North Pole begin with the establishment of Barnyard Tours, Inc., with Freddy as founder-president. Arctic adventures are famously dangerous and exciting, and this one is no exception. It is fortunate that Freddy and his entourage reach the Pole when they do, as they arrive just in time to be of service to Santa Claus himself.
