On friends: “Flowers and friendship, eh? Flowers I ain’t got much use for. Hundreds here, and only one button hole to put ‘em in. But friendship – yes, friendship I go for.”

Freddy the Pilot
Who knew that a pig could pack so much wisdom? But one porker – Freddy – is a gold-mine of tips about life and people and getting by with grace. Freddy is fictional, of course, the creation of the late Walter R. Brooks. The 26 books in his ‘Freddy the Pig’ series are a treasure trove – not only of tips – but of great storytelling, too. The enduring value of the series is such that Freddy has his own fan club – ‘Friends of Freddy’. Overlook Press, which has reprinted the series, has also released a small tome entitled The Wit and Wisdom of Freddy (and his Friends).
