Gherman, Beverly

Sparky: The Life and Art of Charles Schulz

125 pp. | Chronicle | June, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8118-6790-0 $16.99
(3) 4-6 Gherman's latest biography (Norman Rockwell: Storyteller with a Brush; Ansel Adams: America's Photographer) makes clear that Schulz's Peanuts comic strip reflected the cartoonist's life and his times. The bright design uses colors that recall the Sunday comics and incorporates archival photographs and Schulz's drawings. Gherman's genuine affection for her subject shines through the lively text. Bib., ind.
