Description: We Take Pride in our Packaging ANCIENT ROMANS WERE TERRIFIED OF THIS FEARLESS LITTLE GAUL WHO DOESN'T LOVE ASTERIX, the diminutive and fearless Gaulish warrior and his best pal Obelix who were a major pain in the YouKnowWhat for Julius Caesar and his Roman legions during the Gallic Wars around 50 BC? Asterix lived in a village in a part of Gaul never conquered and he and Obelix loved nothing more than to beat up the invaders when they were not hunting wild boars in the forests. It sounds brutal - but their adventures are hilarious in the Asterix series of comic strips by René Coscinny with drawings by Albert Uderzo.So much fun in fact, that the 35 books in the series have been translated from the original French into every language you can think of and numerous films, animated as well as live-action, have been made. This book is the third annual omnibus and it contains three of our hero's adventures - Asterix and the Big Fight, Asterix in Britain and Asterix and the Normans. All of the usual characters are here - many of whose names end in "ix" or are puns like the Roman Centurion Gracchus Armisurplus. THIS BOOK IS IN HARDCOVER and it is in good condition with clean, crisp and unmarked pages which is unusual with books pre-owned by juvenile readers. The binding is firm and square with a minor bump at the base of the spine and there are no names or inscriptions. There is a light ripple in the front endpage but it does little to affect the quality of the volume. This is a nice book.
