The Overlook Press is the proud publisher of one of the true landmarks in children's literature: Freddy the Pig. Freddy and his fellow animals were the subject of 26 books by Walter R. Brooks, a New York advertising man and a staff writer for the New Yorker, that appeared between 1927 and Brooks's death in 1958. The Freddy books were illustrated by Kurt Wiese, who deftly brought to life hundreds of hilarious events throughout the books. The 26 volumes in this remarkable series contain more than 250 humorous characters. Today, Freddy is championed by his own fan club, Friends of Freddy, who produce the Bean Home Newsletter.
