Freddy is probably the most lovable, most admirable pig that ever lived.

Funny, beautifully written gems.
*The New York Times*

Freddy is blessed with courage, wit, agility and a Sherlock Holmes-like capacity for detective work.

My very, very favourite book series as a child ... so inviting and entertaining, and as fresh as ever for readers of all ages.
