This volume of The Complete Peanuts features the long, surprisingly dramatic sequence in which a grievously ill Charlie Brown checks himself into a hospital while his friends worry. But the rest of the stories in this, the final volume from the 1970s, are far less sombre, as Snoopy launches his ''bird scout'' treks, Peppermint Patty gets leaked on at school and sues - plus one of the great forgotten romances in Peanuts history!
