Within this book you'll step back in time, to Charlie Brown's first appearance - which was not, by the way, in Peanuts. Spanning half a century, from the embryonic days until his retirement in early 2000, Sparky, aka Charles Monroe Shultz, remained the sole writer and artist behind the Peanuts gang's newspaper comic strip adventures... a feat all but unprecedented in the comic strip industry. You will then travel forward to witness just how much of an impact Sparky Shultz has had on the world. And not just the world of Peanuts... the entire world.
