Its characters - Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, and so many more - have become dearly loved icons for generation after generation.

They will be the ultimate books for PEANUTS fans the world over.These first volumes will be of particular fascination to PEANUTS aficionados. Many of the strips from the series' first two or three years have never been collected before, in large part because they showed a young Schulz working out the kinks in his new strip. They include some characterizations and designs that are quite different from the cast we all know. And Snoopy debuts as a puppy!

The creator of beloved cartoon Peanuts, 'Charles Schulz was an innovative genuis 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

"'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"
