No further information available.

From the introduction to the book: ”The work of Schulz is remarkable for its universality. What emerges is his own personality as a moral force, but without preaching and with great humor. In the end one feels that it is silly to be upset about anything if Charlie Brown can face adult problems and dilemmas and solve them. Even the dog has a philosophy.” Photobucket More next Thursday.
