Allen & Unwin The Complete Peanuts 1979-1980 book English Hardcover 344 pages

The latest in Canongate's highly collectible and highly praised series, with an introduction by Al Roker

This volume of The Complete Peanuts features the long, surprisingly dramatic sequence in which a grievously ill Charlie Brown checks himself into a hospital while his friends worry. But the rest of the stories in this, the final volume from the 1970s, are far less sombre, as Snoopy launches his 'bird scout' treks, Peppermint Patty gets leaked on at school and sues - plus one of the great forgotten romances in Peanuts history!
