Hi, thanks for great article. I've been trying to find a book from childhood with H.W.Frees photos that are all about Easter and featured rabbits primarily. It was large in size, full color, and I cannot even find mention of it despite my research online. Any ideas?

What kind of this crappiest website? You supported his work as dressing up on animals for hours? I truly hated what Harry W frees' guts because of his work with animals. He was a horrible man. He was/is and will always be an animal abuser because he dressed up on poor animals and force things with them? What kind of dick is he? I'm glad he is not here otherwise he would be in jail! He's so fucked up! Wake up, people!!!

Thanks for your great blog on Harry W.Frees-- a very patient artist with uniquely creative talent. Am an American retired overseas in Asia and delighted that these great photo sources will help me with my near future oil (acrylic) paintings of these adorable tiny fellows. Thanks again.

Wonderful article about a dearly beloved photographer and author!
Thank you for sharing this.
Lily
PS, to find this, I searched "Agamemnon the kitten", which got me to this article with many of his pictures, and the name of the author:
http://tparty.typepad.com/th
With the author's name, I found your website article, which has much more info about the photographer himself.

I was cataloguing a copy of LITTLE FOLKS OF ANIMAL LAND for sale, and wanted to learn more about the obscurd photographer who created these set shots. It is quite sad to learn that he died in solitary poverty. He earned better, and I am pleased that Ms. Bradford has helped to keep his memory green -which is more than his publishers did!

I thought you might appreciate this video which contains a lot of his photos. http://www.youtube.com/watch |

I have several of Harry's books and I'm working on a post for my blog. I found your blog by googling Harry Frees. Very informative. | ||||

Hello - Thank you for your information on Harry Whittier Frees. I am a big fan and there is VERY LITTLE information anywhere. My new album, All the Children Love 4th Sign of the Apocalypse, was just released in Italy and each panel of the CD features one of Harry's photos. I am also the proud owner of The Sandman series of books. If you, or anybody else, would like to correspond about him, I would be more than happy to! Thanks again, Bryin |

I found your page because I was researching the photographer. On Facebook someone has taken apart a book & framed the pages & sells them to benefit needy kitties. | ||||

Bless you for the information on Mr. Frees. I remembered the books from my younger days. Yesterday I bought, at a garage sale, a copy of the Rand McNally era version of the Little Kittens' Nursery Rhymes, what memories. Today I went to Google for information on the author and found your site, which is wonderful! Many thanks. | ||||

As a tiny child, two of Mr. Frees books, "Snuggles" and "Four Little Kittens" were my absolute favorites and had to be read to me every night before bed. I still have both tattered copies! Wonderful to know that this kind genius is still recognized for his work. | ||||

I've loved these kitties since I was a little bitty girl (b 1948) and have bought several books from eBay. However, you've added much more info than I knew...like the other books & magazine articles & Harry Whittier Frees' bio, of which I was unaware...and about Mrs. Bradford. It's great to know there are others who love this man's work! Wish I could have known him. Thank you! | ||||

I am so happy I found this page. I have longed to see these favorite books from my childhood again, but did not know the author. First found Mr. Frees' name on Amazon, then did a Google search. I still love these wonderful books! Thank you so much for sharing your collection. | ||||

I bought Four Little Kittens on Ebay and I am so happy with the book! Just amazing! | ||||

Hello there! Just wanted to drop in and thank you for sharing all your collected Harry Whittier Frees information, and your passion for his work :) I'm also a collector, and recently acquired a copy of "Little Folks of Animal Land", which is now a prize possession of mine, and I flip through it daily...glad to find somebody else who treasures the whimsy and awkward innocence of his work. Cheers. | ||||

Hi, I stumbled across your site when I was lloking up God and what he says about animals. I have a website that was first about selling flowers and floral gifts then I added greeting cards of my animals that I have and wildlife. My passion is to rescue anything that needs a home. We have 12 acres and the sales from my site go towards care for animals. I also educate on my site the horrors that animals face. I am doing a lot of letter writing to senators, govenors and trying to get stiffer laws. I send letter s to everyone in the phone book onhow they can help. Please visit my site and let me know what you think. Keep in touch we have the same goal. Jane Ontario, NY | ||||

I'm from Holland. When I was 9/10 years old we learned "one more river". We learned songs in different languages.Also French and German. As a child I liked this song very much. I'm 54 now. | ||||

Found your site via links at http://www.shorpy.com/. What patience Mr. Frees must have had. | ||||

I was happy to see all of your Harry Frees books. I just got one this morning that's not on your site: The Little Kittens' Mother Goose Rhymes' (Rand McNally, 1942).
Alas, its missing its cover... Have fun, David |

Very nice site. | ||||
|
This is a great site. I've been collecting later versions of these books (1930s and 1950s). Most are battered and much used a testament to their popularity with the children who owned them. I was curious if anyone else was interested in these witty books. | ||||
|

I found this website through a Google search for Harry Whittier Frees. Excellent website - every page is terrific! | ||||

I remembered books with pictures photographed by Mr. Frees from my childhood. I adored those books and recently had the pleasure of coming across one in great condition but the owner does not want to sell it. The website is really good and I was thrilled to find it. A friend found the site for me. She teaches computer classes so she did the research for me. I am so very happy to see the Frees pictures again. | ||||
|
|
|||||
|
I love this photography of small animals. Mr. Frees must have been good to his models because none of them look like they are distressed. I remember buying greeting cards with his photos on them. Now I can't find them anymore. | ||||
|
|
|||||
|
I recently rediscovered our book of The Little Kittens. I think it may have belonged to my Mother as a child who passed it along to us as kids. Those photos just melt your heart and I started doing a little online research about Harry Whitter Frees. I was surprised to learn he was born in Reading, PA and lived in Oaks, PA, since I live and grew up in Lititz, PA. I'm really enjoying these pictures on your website. I didn't know he produced so much adorable work. Thanks for posting it. | ||||

You are proof that God does indeed have Angels here on earth. Thank You so much for such a lovely tribute to Mr. Frees. The power is in sharing with others and you do it well. : D I hope to one day "own" and share some of those awesome postcards and books by Mr. Frees. I'm an animal Lover and photograher so I'm glad to have learned that they were treating kindly during the photo shoots. I can barely get my one dog to sit still long enough to at least get her in focus! Woof! Love your Pinky page. Meow. Sonia | ||||

I LOVE IT! I recently found a postcard (Protesting Pups) at my local flee market and it is so precious. Two little pups dressed in checkered pajamas with picketing
signs that read "We Want More Bones" and "We Want More Meat." I gave it to a friend who I knew would appreciate it even more than I. She then googled Harry Frees and WA-LA your website. Thanks for your informitive website! |

Hello! Your site is amazing and soooo informative. I have been searching everywhere for information on books with photos by Harry W. Frees, since i would like to use the books on my website, Bunny Ears TV (www.bunnyears.tv). Of course it has not been easy to find any of the old publishers.....Do you have any information on how to contact Anne R. Bradford? Im thinking that she may have an idea about copyright issues, since she has gone through some of these issues in order to publish her books. Thanks again for a wonderful site. all the best, Judy Blumstock |

Hi, You might be interested to know (if you don't already) that Frees did at least four books in the Sandman series: Animal, Kittycat, Bunny, and Puppy Stories. The copy I have of Animal Stories is all b/w except the frontispiece which looks hand-tinted. |

I found your website by serendipity, looking for the lyrics to "One More River" for a forthcoming music book. Your website is fascinating and charming.

Greetings from Mississippi. Thank you so much for the information and photographs of Harry Whittier Frees! I had the pleasure of discovering his work as a child and still dearly love it.

I enjoyed visiting your site. I stumbled upon this site while looking for a missing cover for my special Harry Whittier Frees book. I have a 1935 copy of a compilation of all three stories, Four Little Kitties, Four Little Puppies and Four Little Bunnies all in one book. It's very old and tattered and missing it's cover. All the more interesting if you ask me. I'd like to find the cover if it's out there somewhere. | ||||

I LOVE IT. IT REMINDS ME OF A BOOK I HAD WHEN I WAS YOUNG. IS THERE ANY WAY TO ORDER THIS STUFF? | ||||

Just another question about an item in you collection. Could you tell me the dimensions of the Utica Sheet Restful Sleep book? My husband and I have been digging through all kinds of paper items at antique stores and flea markets looking for it, and we thought it might help it we knew what size the booklet was. Thanks again for your help! | ||||

I am quite jealous of your book collection. I have "The Little Kittens Nursery Rhymes" with the white cover. Are the contents of the one with the red cover different? If so, I guess I'll have to try and find that one, too! | ||||
