Summary

“In the book of life, the answers aren’t in the back.”
—Charlie Brown
 
Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, he’s the Charlie Browniest. Now celebrate sixty-five years of that round-headed kid with this delightful collection of full-color comic strips, together here for the first time, featuring Charlie Brown and the whole Peanuts gang—from Sally to Linus, Lucy to Schroeder, Snoopy to Woodstock, Peppermint Patty to Pigpen. Whether pining hopelessly after the Little Red-Haired Girl, falling yet again for Lucy’s offer to hold a football for him to kick, trick-or-treating (“I got a rock”), or simply contemplating the unfairness of life, this beloved underdog has accumulated millions of fans to cheer him on. You’re Golden, Charlie Brown is a book to treasure.

Author Biography

Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on November 26, 1922, Charles Schulz was drafted into the army in 1943 and soon embarked for Europe and the fight against Germany. He then went on to teach at Art Instruction, where he worked with Charlie Brown and Linus, who later lent their names to the comic strips. In 1950, after many mailbox rejections, Schulz boarded a train from St. Paul to New York with a handful of drawings. On October 2 of that year, Peanuts, named by United Features Syndicate, debuted in seven newspapers.
 
On February 12, 2000, Charles Schulz died in Santa Rosa, California. It was only hours before his last original strip was to appear in Sunday papers.
