Peanuts Treasury was the first hardcover book I remember getting as a kid,
somewhere around 1968, 1969. I spent hours reading and re-reading it, losing
myself in the comic misadventures of Charlie Brown and Snoopy, wishing I
could be like Charles Schulz, the stripıs writer and artist. My first dog,
acquired around that same time, was not coincidentally a beagle, like
Snoopy, whom we named Peppy, and I loved that crazy dog. I was so fond of
Peanuts Treasury that itıs one of the few prized possessions from my
misspent youth that followed me through college, half a dozen adult
relocations, and is now on my daughterıs bookshelf.

Itıs hard to find anyone who has anything bad to say about ³Peanuts² or
Schulz. The stripıs creator lived and thrived in the pre-Internet age where
the world didnıt demand every detail of a celebrityıs life be preserved and
shared. For the most part, we knew only his good works and the enduring
cartoon series based on them. In his controversial new book, Schulz and
Peanuts, biographer David Michaelis introduces readers to the real
cartoonist behind the daily strip. Michaelisı previous biographical work
includes a history of painter N. C. Wyeth.

(Incidentally, the Schulz family ­ led by Sparkyıs widow, Jean ­ has
aggressively come out against the book they once authorized and with which
they cooperated fully.)
