Summary:

"Charles M. Schulz: The Life and Art of the Creator of Peanuts in 100 Objects explores the man behind one of America's most iconic comic strips and its beloved cast of characters--Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the Peanuts Gang. Through 100 preserved and cataloged artifacts, delve into Charles M. Schulz's Minnesota youth in 1920s America, Schulz's WWII Army service, and Schulz's path to fame through his post-war comic series Li'l Folks and five decades of Peanuts. From Schulz's first published drawing featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not! to his 2001 Congressional Gold Medal, the 100 artifacts bring the details of the singular artist to life. Along with provocative, witty, and wise quotes, fan-favorite strips, and more, this book is a must-have for any Peanuts fan." --Provided by Publisher.
