Title: The golden age begins
Review: How many "firsts" in this book! The first "Psychiatric help" strip, the first Miss Othmar sequence, the first "Great Pumpkin" story, the first appearance of Sally and the beginning of her one-sided flirt with Linus, who also will face his blanket-hating grandma for the first time. Really, this book is a gem, and it marks a turning point in Peanuts history. The preface with the interview to Whoopi Goldberg is also remarkable: it gives an unusual insight in Schulz's strip and characters, and it celebrates Schulz art as being universal and profoundly humane: although being a conservative, Schulz never pressed his points in his strip, and humanity prevailed on political bias, and Whoopi Goldberg recognized that.
