First original book of the Peanuts collection containing the best Peanuts daily strips from 1950-1952. This collection introduces several of the comic strip's famous and familiar characters, including Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Patty, Sherman, Schroeder and Violet. The strip's bitter-sweet humour and child-like innocence helped to cement the Peanuts comic strip's popularity and secure its reputation as a true, one-of-a-kind, timeless classic. Covers from basically the strip's beginning (the first strip actually included is from Thursday, October 12, 1950) through the week in March 1952 when Lucy first appeared.
