Reviews

A cartoon drawn with such supreme artistry, and a text layered with such glorious wordplay, satire and historical and political allusion that no reader should ever feel like they've outgrown it.--TIME OUT

The Asterix books represent the very summit of our achievement as a literary race. In Asterix one finds all of human life. The fact that the books were written originally in French is no matter. I have read them all in many languages and, like all great literature, they are best in English. Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge, Asterix's translators since the very beginning, have made great books into eternal flames.--THE TIMES

When Julius Caeser claims that the Belgiums are the bravest of all of the Gaulish people- Vitalstatistix practically has an apoplexy. He's all for rushing off to Belgium to prove to everyone EXACTLY who the bravest are but it seems to him that he is the only one who cares. Matching off on his own, the Druid Getafix sends Asterix and Obelix along with him just in case. They find the Belgiums who- surptisingly- seem just a little bit familiar.....
