Nat Completes a Set
I’m doing a little happy dance over here, because I finally own every Peanuts book ever published… in Welsh. Of course, the fact that there are only 2 made it easier, but these books aren’t easy to find. I’ve had Ffyrnigrwydd Snwpi for a while now, but only just got …
Silent Peanuts and more
Now shipping: the new, cheaper edition of A Peanuts Christmas, a collection of Christmas-themed strips.

Getting Snoopy’s gourd
I now have my copy of Baby Snoopy’s Pumpkin. I laughed, I cried, it changed my life. Oh, okay, it’s just a silly kids’ book, and the ventral mystery of it (what is that odd thing Baby Snoopy is growing?) is kinda given away by the title. But each of …
