The Golden Hamster Saga is a book series written by German author Dietlof Reiche, and translated by John Brownjohn. It was illustrated by Joe Cepeda. The series revolves around a golden hamster named Freddy Auratus, two silly guinea pigs named Enrico and Caruso, a black, civilized tomcat named Sir William, and Freddy's owner, Mr. John, who translates German to English.
All mammals (except humans) in this series communicate in Interanimal, a telepathic language. The only animal who can read and write is Freddy. He goes on adventures with his friends Sir William, Enrico, Caruso, and Tjark (pornounced Ch-ark).

Buffeted by such seas;

But the Golden Race looks dim,
Salt blood blocks his eyes.”
