Format:Paperback
Asterix made his first appearance over 50 years ago in a little known French comic, and the indomitable little Gaul is still fighting strong to this day. In this collection Albert Uderzo and the late Rene Goscinny present his first ever adventures: Asterix the Gaul, Asterix and the Golden Sickle, and Asterix and the Goths.
Each adventure is fun to read, but by far my favourite is Asterix and the Goths, where the Gaul and his huge friend (and part time Menhir deliverer) Obelix go to Germania and cause havoc. Every tale is wonderfully illustrated by Uderzo, while the prose by Goscinny manages to cram in plenty of puns, wordplay, and satire - much of it aimed at France's neighbours.
Long time fans of the series, including adults who have long since lost their childhood versions of the books, might be tempted to get these brilliant omnibus editions; but I'm also sure that children and newcomers will enjoy these tales as well, as they haven't dated much despite their age.
By Toutatis, you'll have some fun with these stories!

Format:Paperback
Granddaughter thrilled to receive this after she had been to the Asterix Park in Paris. Books bought there in English have a massive price hike. This book has introduction to the characters. She is 10years old and has very good reading skills and likes history. The humour is probably above her in places but she was trilled. Asterix clearly is one of those clever creations which appeals to different ages at all levels.

I bought this book for my 11 year old son because I loved Asterix as a child. I wasn't sure what he would make of it though. In fact, he loves it every bit as much as I did, and pointed out about three nanoseconds after he finished it that this was only the first three stories and please could he have some more. I've taken sneaky peeks at his copy when he's not looking, and found myself laughing all over again at the ridiculous antics of Asterix, his pals and all the wonderfully named characters. Long may he reign.

The Asterix experience
Just as much fun to read as when I first discovered the Asterix comics and MUCH more fun than struggling through Caesar de Bello Gallico for O-level!

Asterix is fab
Enjoyed these books when I was young and my children are now enjoying them. Bought particularly for my 12 year old son who hates reading but will happily read a cartoon strip!

Perfect
Everything with the order went smoothly from start to finish. It was delivered in time, or even before, in perfect condition. Thanks.
