Schulz and Peanuts by David Michaelis
States that Charles Schulz, widely syndicated and beloved cartoonist, is also one of the most misunderstood figures in popular culture. This book presents a biography of Schulz that is at once a creation story, a portrait of a hidden genius, and a chronicle contrasting the private man.
"A fascinating account of an artist who devoted his life to his work" -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Michaelis takes us on a wondrous journey through the worlds of Charlie Brown and Charles Schulz." -- Walter Isaacson "After you read this book you will know the genius that went into every single line that Charles Schulz drew." -- Chris Ware "An insightful rendering of the life of this American treasure." -- Walter Cronkite "Michaelis offers ... all that's needed about a prodigy of American cultural history." -- Kirkus Reviews "An extraordinary achievement ... that shrinks Schulz down to human size and enlarges our love of his work." -- Time magazine "This fall's breakout biography." -- GQ
