A Charlie Brown Christmas

A Charlie Brown Christmas
By Charles M. Schulz

First edition, first impression (The World Publishing Company, 1965).

Publisher’s pictorial paper-covered boards featuring Schulz’s Peanuts characters in red, black, and white; titles in white and gilt to upper cover. In the original pictorial dust jacket repeating the upper board design. Illustrated in colour throughout, adapted from the Bill Melendez television production.

A very good copy, the binding square and firm with light rubbing to extremities in places and trace of a moderate bump to spine head. The contents are clean and bright throughout, free of inscriptions. The dust jacket is in fair to good condition, with a few tears and chips to edges and some associated loss to spine foot and upper panel. Colours remain nice and bright. Not price-clipped ($2.50).

A charming adaptation of the beloved 1965 animated special in which Charlie Brown searches for the true meaning of Christmas, featuring Linus’s now-famous recitation from the Gospel of Luke.
