The Collected Poems of Freddy the Pig
by Walter R. Brooks (Author) Kurt Wiese (Illustrator)
Freddy the Pig. He's been a detective, pilot, cowboy, adventurer - and more. Why not a poet?
The weather, all animals (with special emphasis on the attributes of pigs), joy and sorrow, the utility of facial features, and a world of other subjects are poetically worked over by the world's most distinguished pig-of-letters, Freddy.
Whether he is happy or sad, Freddy is ever the poet, his verse - both heavy and light - having created an international fuss among less gifted pigs and poets. It is all hearty good fun, and most of it rhymes. If Freddy's poetry seems a bit hammy in spots, well, that is to be expected.
