About This Item
The Junior Literary Guild and Alfred A. Knopf, New York, First Edition (stated on copyright page), 1932. Pictorial green cloth cover shows Freddy a la Sherlock Holmes with a false beard, pipe and deerstalker hat. Illustration by Kurt Wiese (cover, endpapers, and multiple in text). Good copy overall, book solid and square, spine faded, soiling to covers, light wear at spine top and bottom, ginge starting to become fragile, soil on front edge, occasional soil on pages. Walter Rollin Brooks (January 9, 1886 – August 17, 1958) was an American writer best remembered for his short stories on Mister Ed the talking horse and children's books, particularly those about Freddy the Pig and other anthropomorphic animal inhabitants of the "Bean farm" in upstate New York.

About The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop
The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop has a passion for fine and rare books covering all things art, all things music, 19th Century literature and culture, fine illustrations and modern firsts. The Cat digs artistic and counter-cultural movements, and also of course the unusual and the curious (hence the "Peculiar" in the name). The Cat's yen for the 19th century (including art, fashion, affairs, exploration) is possibly influenced by living in a 19th century brownstone, a future gallery for the store.Selling online since 2003 with great customer feedback - if the customer is happy, we are happy.
