Asterix's adventures continue in the second installment of the Omnibus re-issues. These stories include Asterix and the Gladiator - where Asterix first travels to Rome to rescue a friend; Asterix and the Banquet - where we are taken on a race across Gaul to raid every delicatessen; and finally one of the best Asterix adventures of all: Asterix and Cleopatra - where the indomitable Gaul travels to the court of the Egyptian Queen to help her win a bet against Caesar.
Each story is beautifully illustrated by Uderzo; while Goscinny provides some interesting twist and turns to the tales, as well including the old running jokes - Cacofonix's awful singing (which plays an integral part in Asterix and the Gladiator), the pirates, and so on.
Fun reading for children and young adults -not to mention those a bit older- alike!

... that was the question vexing me when deciding to purchase Asterix for my 8 year old. He has read quite a few already and i was very unsure whether 3 books in one would be too unwieldy to read easily.
However I was very pleased with the first two volumes I decided to buy having seen the price of individual stories and despite having read one of the 3 books in the omnibus he was delighted to have some new ones - also like the picture on the spine that really makes you want to buy the rest of the set. Marketing ploy maybe but fun...
Of course Asterix and Obelix are classic and through them my 8 year old is now learning a bit of "Latin" and has even got the Minimus book as a start. Plus he is an expert on Romans - so history is (for him) just fun, fun, fun!
