As the 1950s close down, Peanuts enters its golden age. Linus, who had just learned to speak in the previous volume, becomes downright eloquent. Charlie Brown cascades further down the hill to loserdom.

But the rising star is undoubtedly Snoopy. He's at the centre of the most action-packed episodes.

Jonathan Franzen, author of The Corrections and life-long Peanuts fan, introduces the collection.
