Official synopsis Publisher
In this fourth paperback volume, the 1950s close down and Peanuts enters its golden age. Linus, who had just learned to speak in the previous volume, becomes downright eloquent and even begins to fend off Lucyâe(tm)s bullying; even so, his neurosis becomes more pronounced, including a harrowing two-week âeoeLost Weekendâe sequence of blanketlessness. Charlie Brown cascades further down the hill to loserdom, with spectacularly lost kites, humiliating baseball losses (including one where he becomes âeoethe Goatâe and is driven from the field in a chorus of BAAAAHs); at least his newly acquired âeoepencil palâe affords him some comfort. But the rising star is undoubtedly Snoopy. Heâe(tm)s at the center of the most graphically dynamic and action-packed episodes (the ones in which he attempts to grab Linusâe(tm)s blanket at a dead run), and even tentatively tries to sleep on the crest of his doghouse roof once or twice, with mixed results.
