Purchase options and add-ons

Since their debut in 1979, the world has watched the Pattersons grow up in real time--and to many readers, they feel like family. This new series is the definitive edition, collecting three decades of comics in nine volumes.

The cast expands and roles that will play a big part down the road are just starting to bud. New adventures await Elizabeth as she enters kindergarten and has to spend some time in the hospital. Michael has to deal with a bully at school and takes a flight to Vancouver--all by himself! John has an unfortunate accident and is arrested for breaking and entering! And Elly finds a worthwhile cause in heading up a campaign to save the historic city hall which has been scheduled for demolition. Plus, Uncle Phil begins a new relationship and the Enjo family moves next door.

Lynn Johnston's signature style becomes more defined and her storylines more complex as we carry on through the eighties. Volume Two collects the complete daily and Sunday comics from January 1983 through July 5, 1986, with all Sunday comics printed in color.

Each volume also contains a number of annotations by Lynn Johnston detailing motivations for certain strips, funny anecdotes, observations about the reaction from fans, and much more!

Of all the comic strips I love this one the best! Even more then Peanuts. The only con is sometimes I don't understand what is being talked about but know that is it is something you have to be from Canada to know.
Being able to relate to the script is my biggest love and sometimes wonder how she knows the male side so well!
I just wish I could afford the DVD for the whole series but I did get the movies DVD. Thank you, Lynn! <3

Lynn Johnston always has been an artist in the finest sense of the word. Let's see this continue. Her marriage to truth is at the center of all art. Her cartooning is woefully under-rated.

These books are filled with stories and images that many readers will recognise from their own family lives. There’s a bit of everything in these pages: the good, the bad, the sad and the very funny indeed.

Classic Lynn Johnston work, put together in a treasury. I have bought all of Lynn’s books, but I would have preferred each of the original books to be made into hardcover for easy bedtime reading. These big volumes are harder to manage.
