“Good grief!” Charlie Brown is going to New York City to compete in a big spelling bee. Charles M. Schultz’s hapless hero, with the entire Peanuts(R) gang, has won the affection of readers everywhere, and “A Boy Named Charlie Brown” is an absolute classic. Originally released in 1969, it features more than 100 beautifully reproduced full-color illustrations from the film on which it is based, along with Schultz’s incomparable, heartwarming, and funny storytelling.
Charles M. Schulz was born in 1922 in Minneapolis, the only child of a housewife and a barber. His interest in comics was encouraged by his father, who loved the funny pages. After army duty, Schulz lettered comic pages for Timeless Topix, and sold seventeen cartoons to The Saturday Evening Post from 1948 to 1950 and a feature, Li’l Folks, to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Peanuts debuted on October 2, 1950, and ran without interruption for the next fifty years. Schulz died on February 12, 2000, and his last strip ran the next day. Peanuts has appeared in 2,600 newspapers in 75 countries.
