published back in 1958 by the Clarke, Irwin & Company, Ltd of Toronto, Canada. This collection of 248 daily Peanuts newspaper strips that appeared between 1955 -1958 focuses on, perhaps the most famous character in the Peanuts universe, Charlie Brown s Beagle, Snoopy. Whether he s chasing snow flakes, doing impersonations or just dancing his world famous happy jig, things are always going to a little sillier when Snoopy s around. The strip s bitter-sweet humour and child-like innocence helped to cement the Peanuts comic strip s popularity and secure its reputation as a true, one-of-a-kind, timeless classic."
