Freddy and Simon the Dictator

Blurb

Freddy and Simon the Dictator is the 24th book in the generally humorous children's series Freddy the Pig written by American author Walter R. Brooks and illustrated by Kurt Wiese. It tells how animals in New York State rebel against humans, destroying property and taking control of farms. At the same time, Freddy’s friend Mr. Camphor is pressured into running for governor. The situations collide when animals take over Camphor’s estate, imprisoning the political figures there.
Author Brooks was in ill health. There is an element of finality toward the end of the story, as Freddy’s foe Mr. Garble is at last jailed. All animals are given the right to vote in human elections. Uncharacteristically foretelling, Brooks writes that years later Freddy is elected mayor of Centerboro.
Elements of its plot are similar to George Orwell's 1945 novel Animal Farm.
