As America's greatest comic strip leaves the '80s behind and enters its final decade, romantic intrigue abounds along with the introduction of a new character (Snoopy's sibling Olaf) and the divergent story lines of all the regular (and irregular) Peanuts gang. This latest volume includes an introduction by Lemony Snicket himself, Daniel Handler plus scholarly essays about this most over-looked period in the Peanuts canon. And, as usual, a box set combining this latest volume with the previous, complete with slipcase, is available at a bargain price.
