Peanuts: A Golden Celebration—The Art and the Story of the World's
Best-Loved Comic Strip
By Charles M. Schulz
Peanuts: A Golden Celebration honors
the momentous 50th anniversary of Charlie Brown and the gang with over
1,000 carefully selected strips that tell the story of Peanuts like no
other book before. In Schulz's own words we learn how he came to create
the world's most popular comic strip characters from nostalgic and sometimes
painful memories of growing up—such as the agony of classroom Valentine
exchange and the longing for Little Red-Haired Girl.
