He turns up first as Snoopy's secretary, then gradually becomes a
good friend whom Snoopy helps to fly South . . . but it's not until
22 June 1970 that the little bird gains a name, in a perfect salute
to the decade that ends with this volume: Woodstock! In other
timely stories, Peppermint Patty runs afoul of her school's dress
code (those sandals!), Lucy declares herself a "New Feminist," and
Snoopy's return to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm on a speaking
engagement climaxes in a riot and a new love found amidst the
teargas ("She had the softest paws..."). Speaking of Snoopy, this
volume falls under the sign of the Great Beagle, as three separate
storylines focus on the mysterious sovereign of Beagledom. First
Snoopy is summoned by a wrathful G.B. when Frieda submits a
complaint about his (Snoopy's) desultory rabbit-chasing efforts;
then, back in the Great one's good graces, Snoopy is sent on a
secret mission; and finally he himself ascends (briefly!) to the
mantle of Great Beagledom. In other news, an exasperated Lucy
throws Schroeder's piano into the maw of the kite-eating tree, with
gruesome results... Miss Othmar goes on strike and Linus gets
involved... Charlie Brown's baseball team has an actual (brief)
winning streak... Snoopy's quest to compete in the Oakland ice
skating competition is thwarted by his inability to find a
partner... Charlie Brown goes to a banquet to meet his hapless
baseball hero Joe Shlabotnik... Snoopy is left in the Van Pelt
family's care as Charlie and Sally Brown head out of town for a
vacation... and (alas) the Little Red-Haired Girl moves away...
This volume also features a new introduction by renowned
illustrator Mo Willems and, as always, gorgeous design by
award-winning cartoonist Seth.
