THE EDDIE SERIES
By Carolyn Haywood

Notes

Titles
I'm not sure about the last book in the list.  Eddie's Friend Boodles was published in 1991, a year after Haywood's death at the age of 92. It may be a last book, a "lost book", a re-titling of an earlier book, or may have been actually written by someone else. If anyone knows, please email me :-) LITTLE EDDIE -- "Whether little Eddie's finding homes for a crowd of stray cats, or picketing the baseball team that says he's too little to play, his happy adventures are sure to win lots of friends." -- illustrated by author. 1947, 1962 Morrow; 1990, Beech Tree.
