There’s just nothing comparable to the exhilarating feeling of breaking down the ice with the puck, heading in on the goal. You really have a chance to go.

Growing up in the 1920s and 1930s in Minnesota’s Twin Cities, Charles M. Schulz, and his neighborhood buddies would skate in the backyard each winter. His father Carl, a neighborhood barber, would flood the yard and it would freeze into a serviceable skating rink. They also skated and played hockey on area ponds and at parks.

Cerf and Klopfer nurtured the series as it had never been, recouping their original $215,000 investment in less than two years. This would be nearly $3 million today.

The agreement included 25 titles published by Modern Library Hamilton believed had passed out of copyright in the UK. The titles they planned included the likes of Casanova's Memoirs, Pepys' Diary, The Three Musketeers, plenty of Charles Dickens and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.
