Description
The kids (and canines) of Peanuts know a thing or two about how tough life can be. But with a philosophical approach to the trials and tribulations of growing up - from not being able to talk to the girl you like, to having an idiot brother who won't take your flawless advice - they're never short of the small comforts, and the great wisdom, that can help us get by.

Reviews
[Charles M. Schultz is] possibly the greatest cartoonist who ever lived * * Guardian * *
Forget Wittgenstein and Sartre, the great 20th century philosopher was Snoopy * * Daily Mail * *
I grew up with Peanuts. But I never outgrew it . . . For decades, it was our own daily security blanket. That's what makes Peanuts an American treasure -- PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

Charles Schulz's brilliant, angst-ridden, truly funny, fifty-year-long masterpiece of joy and heartbreak -- MATT GROENING

What a brilliant, truly modern and totally weird idea it was to create a comic strip about a chronically depressed child . . . * * Time * *
Charles Schulz was an American treasure - an artist, philosopher, and keen observer of human life -- BILL CLINTON
The world of Peanuts is a microcosm, a little human comedy for the innocent reader and for the sophisticated -- UMBERTO ECO
