Product Description

COLCHESTER EVENING GAZETTE

'Asterix is a true hero of global proportions' --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.


Review

'If Orion Books had just found and published one of the "lost" Shakespeare plays...I would not have been more excited than when I learnt of the publication of 14 previously untranslated Asterix stories in a new book called ASTERIX AND THE CLASS ACT....Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge, Asterix's translators since the very beginning, have made great books into eternal flames' (Giles Coren THE TIMES )

'One of the most appealing features of the Asterix books is their ingenious, twisting plotlines, filled with scheming villains and hapless fools....Asterix and the Class Act might appeal more to Asterix diehards than to general fans; but it is an entertaining addition to the canon' (Toby Lichtig TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT )

'Asterix is a true hero of global proportions' (COLCHESTER EVENING GAZETTE )

Here's a chance to dip into some new fun with the roast boar-loving French action men (Marion McMullen NUNEATON EVE TELEGRAPH )

'LIke all the best children's books, Asterix works on several levels. More than a footnote, this addition to the series is worthy of its lineage' (EVERYTHING FRANCE ) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Asterix and the Class Act, 13 Nov 2003
By A Customer
This is an absolute gem of a book for all those die-hard Asterix fans! A collection of fourteen 'new' short stories which were published as comic strips in varoius magazines and newspapers over the years. The operative word here is 'short' which was a bit of a dissapointment to me as I like to read lengthier stories. The short write-ups at the beginning of each story gives the reader the history behind each story. The book includes 'Chanticleerix' written by Albert Uderzo this year (2003) is a wonderful new short story about the cockerel 'Chanticleerix', with a big attitute, the kind you could only see in Gaul! 56 wonderful pages of the well loved characters, we could only hope for more of these!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Short Stories, 7 Oct 2007
By M. A. Ramos (Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
First I need to start off by saying that I am a big fan of the Asterix series. And I found these stories very entertaining. Though first published in English in 2003. This set of stories was originally published in French in 1996. And was a huge success.

The book contains fourteen tales, including: The day Asterix and Oblix were born; How Oblix goes back to school; Fashion in Ancient Gaul; How Dogmatix helps the village cockerel win a duel; How Dogmatix is adopted as a Roman mascot; Asterix as you have never seen him before; Obelix's adventures under the mistletoe; The bid for the first Gaulish Olympics; The story of the creation of Asterix; The family tree of Obelix; and much more. Pick up this fun and book.
