About This Item
Overlook Books. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2009. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 1590201701 . Still stiff to open in crisp dust jacket; unmarked but for signature of Michael Cart to the title page, dated in 2008. About new. ; 143 X 24.13 X 209.55 millimeters; 272 pages; Author and librarian Michael Cart (himself a lifelong fan of Freddy the Pig of Bean Farm) gracefully combines archival research, firsthand accounts from Brooks's personal files, and interviews with his second wife to present the first complete biography of the man behind the pig. Much of the series sprang from Brooks's idyllic childhood in turn-of-the-century upstate New York among a colorful cast of family and friends. Brooks spent his adult life writing iconoclastic columns and book reviews as well as original, often fantastical stories for numerous popular publications. ; Signed by Author .
