About the Author
The creator of beloved cartoon Peanuts, CHARLES SCHULZ was an innovative genius of American comics and also the marathon man, drawing panel after four-square panel, year after year, creating a fantasy world that connected to kids as well as adults and all based on powerful iconic characters who express deep feelings of loneliness and resentment and despair...We remember him with love and admiration and gratitude for his gifts and his heroic endurance." -Garrison Keillor

Reviews
"'An extraordinary publishing project.' Time 'So well-done that any reader will be impatient for the rest of the series, but in the meantime this is a book to savour.' Amazon.com 'Now that Schulz is gone, the comic he drew for fifty years looks more eccentric and ingenious all the time.' Washington Post"
