Book DescriptionAdults, children, and reviewers have embraced the stouthearted Freddy the Pig since he and his Bean Farm chums first appeared in 1927. The Overlook reissues of this classic series-with more than 150,000 hardcover copies sold-have brought these timeless adventures to a whole new generation eager for a good time and a good laugh. As a recent USA Today feature about the Freddy phenomenon noted, the Freddy books brilliantly illustrate the cardinal virtues: "fair play and a good sense of humor."
In The Clockwork Twin, Freddy reprises his most famous role-as detective!-and Walter Brooks"s talking animals rollick through amazing adventures. They talk, dance, sing, joke, and work out intricate problems. When a mechanical double is rigged up by Mr. Bean"s brother, Uncle Ben (who is an eccentric inventor), as a friend and playmate for the Beans" adopted boy, Adoniram, a comedy of errors ensues. The Bean Farm animals then decide to look for Adoniram"s real-life brother-it"s a job for Freddy the detective.
