For the writers group assignment “write about a toy or book from your childhood” I wrote about the “Freddy” series of books by Walter Brooks, starting with Freddy Goes to Florida. I wanted to write about the only toy that comes to mind, which was a Space Patrol ray-gun that was part flashlight, but I couldn’t find any online pictures that matched my recollection, and anyway what’s to say about it if I can’t really remember how it looked? But I took a look at a few pages of Freddy Goes to Florida online and was amazed by the quality of the writing.
