Charles Schulz was an American treasure - an artist, philosopher, and keen observer of human life

- BILL CLINTON,

It's impossible to think of another popular art form that reaches across generations the way the daily comic strip does... at the pinnacle of that long tradition, there was Charles Schulz

* Seattle Times *

The world of Peanuts is a microcosm, a little human comedy for the innocent reader and for the sophisticated

- UMBERTO ECO,

Charles Schulz was, plain and simple, a great artist and philosopher . . . But most importantly, he teaches all ages that if you can learn to laugh at the things that cause you the most pain you will be the strongest of all. <i>Peanuts</i>: a real way of life

- JOHN WATERS,

Republishing <i>Peanuts</i> in one gorgeous volume after another is really the first time we can truly take a step back, appreciate Schulz's work as a whole and ultimately wrap our arms around the accomplishment of Charles Schulz. Sometimes, happiness is a warm book

* Huffington Post *

These timely re-issues illustrate not only the skill and subtle brilliance of his work but also the origins of the form beyond simple merriment

* Sunday Times *

All sorts of important writers have marvelled at the glorious simplicity of [Schulz's] draftsmanship and his unerring jokecraft, all underpinned by a quiet melancholy and stoicism . . . by some miracle, the entire <i>Peanuts</i> oeuvre is gradually being republished in this country, by Canongate . . . in lavishly appointed hardback . . . Unlike almost everything you read as a child, they are actually better than you remember them

* Spectator *

As essential as pop texts get

* The Onion *

<i>The Complete Peanuts</i> confronts us afresh with what a brilliant, truly modern and totally weird idea it was to create a comic strip about a chronically depressed child

* Time *

In this volume, Peanuts celebrates its 40th birthday! Snoopy and Spike decline to compete in an ugly dog competition, entering their brother Olaf instead. Charlie Brown and Marcie spend quality time together at sleepaway camp, while Peppermint Patty simmers in summer school. Linus ramps up his Great Pumpkin proselytising with the 'Great Pumpkin Movement' - complete with literature to pass out door to door. Marcie begins to crack under the pressure of being a good student. Charlie Brown even gets the girl - but she thinks his name is Brownie Charles!
