Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

Like Good Old Charlie Brown, most of us learn life's little lessons one picture at a time and then relearn them again and again and again… The Parable of Peanuts presents Robert L. Short's charming and sweetly witty commentary on the biblical implications of Charles M. Schulz's "Peanuts."
