"Charles (otherwise known as Sparky) Schulz always loved drawing from the time he was a young child, and as he grew older, he turned this passion into a phenomenally successful career. His early doodles of a shy boy and of his mischievous dog inspired two of his most familiar and beloved characters, Charlie Brown and Snoopy. Here's the story about the Peanuts gang and Charles's life that's sure to excite those who love the classic cartoon series"-- Provided by publisher.
