This third volume takes us into the mid-1950s as the characters we are all familiar with solidify. Linus learns to talk, Snoopy begins to explore his eccentricities, Lucy's crush on Schroeder takes shape, and Charlie Brown becomes even more Charlie Brown-ish! This volume includes an introduction by Matt Groening (The Simpsons) as well as the popular Complete Peanuts index, a hit with librarians and collectors alike.
