If you put P.G. Wodehouse, Kenneth Grahame, and Mark Twain into a martini shaker, the cocktail you’d pour out would be Walter R. Brooks.
Brooks is the author of the hilarious “Freddy the Pig” series that from 1927–1958 kept his American readers awaiting the next installment. The 26 “Freddy” books combine talking animals à la Kenneth Grahame’s classic “Wind in the Willows,” American flavor the likes of Twain, and snappy conversation and convoluted scenarios worthy of P.G. Wodehouse’s Jeeves and Wooster tales.
