The AAUGH Blogger has a quest

As you know, I am sadly maniacal about print adaptations of A Charlie Brown Christmas. I do have every one of the dozens of editions listed in my guide to A Charlie Brown Christmas books.

I must quest for this! I must! (Although if anyone has a copy they want to send me a picture of, I’d be glad to add it to my guide.)

Charlie Brown answers …
