(sometimes detective) Freddy The Pig
illustrated by Kurt Wiese [original 26 books 1927-58]
The animals on the Bean farm near Centerboro in New York have all learned to speak to humans; Freddy the Pig quickly evolves into the central character, taking lead roles for each book as detective, politician, etc. The books are being republished since 2010 in paperback by Overlook Press, for ages 8 and up; the plan here is to construct a WRBrooks/Freddy page at Spirit of America Bookstore, copy only the detective tales here, and otherwise refer to the SA page from this page.

(replacing Captain Doran), and so on. The plot has to do with a robot designed to impersonate the Queen of the Mice.
