It’s A Charlie Brown Collection!

Today is the 60th Anniversary of “A Charlie Brown Christmas”, which still doesn’t seem the same without a network TV rebroadcast or retrospective.

The Peanuts characters created by Charles Schulz 75 years ago remain popular and familiar to today’s children. It is interesting to look at how Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts cast have been marketed toward all audiences across that time. So here is a peak inside my not so rare but fun Peanuts collections:

A Charlie Brown Christmas: The Making of A Tradition, by Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez.

Good Housekeeping June 1966 with photos and profiles of the voice cast from the upcoming Charlie Brown All-Stars, including Peter Robbins and Chris Shea from the Christmas Special.

Snoopy and Friends Sticker Fun 1987, and Hallmark books “The World According to Lucy” and “Snoopy’s Philosophy”.
