To and Again (Freddy Goes to Florida)

Walter R. Brooks · Alfred A. Knopf (New York) · 1927

US-only true first: Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1927, under the ORIGINAL title "To and Again" — the first book of the Freddy the Pig series. Not a translation, and no UK-first question arises, so the 1927 Knopf issue is the only edition with a claim to being the true first. The retitling trap the census flags is real and is the single most important point: the book was reissued as "Freddy Goes to Florida" in 1949, so any copy bearing that title is a later edition and cannot be the 1927 first, whatever its copyright date states. Collect the 1927 "To and Again" only.
