For a person that started out scribbling little animations in his notebook at school, and then to go on winning the hearts of people of all ages all over the world is phenomenal. The foreword to this wonderful book really pulled on the heartstrings. They were all unique and strong in some way, and although it was obvious to all that Lucy had a good voice that she wasn't afraid to use, she also had a soft spot for Charlie Brown and she knew him and how he worked almost as well as Snoopy. I love the early feminism involved with the females in the strips. One of my favourites was Schroeder, but not just because he was fanatical about Beethoven, but because after all of that time of Lucy leaning on his piano listening to his playing while looking into his eyes when she doesn't turn up one day, he notices, and it hits him hard that he might just miss this girl.I love it, and it makes me smile. The book is presented beautifully, with some wonderful visuals to enjoy, including some classic comic strips, some of which I remember favouring as a child. I needed to age to understand Schulz at his best. I mean, I understood most of the humour, but I guess I didn't appreciate it until some more of my life had been lived. It's funny, because reading the books as a child is a totally different experience to me as an adult. Naturally, he passed that down to his eldest knowing of my love for the characters and general obsession with ink on paper. I had been exposed to the Peanuts series from a young age thanks to my Dad, who owned the entire book collection with added merchandise.
