Got this as a gift for my dad, and he absolutely loved it. The pages are all of great quality, and having three stories makes for a fairly decent amount of content to read. Even after all these years, the series still holds up with great humour in its simple but engaging stories and very detailed artwork.

Asterix cannot fail to enchant any child.
I have an 8 year old son and a 4 year old daughter. I have read them and given them many books of many types over the years. Their favourite was always the encyclopaedia - they would even fight over it. Then I bought them Asterix. Wow. They have had this as their favourite book ever since Christmas. They never go a day without reading it and it is always begged for at bed time. They LOVE Asterix. I'm quite chuffed as I loved it too as a kid.

A great, classic read
Asterix is a charming, humorous series that takes place in ancient Rome, and more specifically, Gaul, which is modern day France. The story is that the Romans under Julius Caesar have conquered all of Gaul except for one little village where there is a group of Gauls who have superhuman strength, thanks to a magic potion brewed by the village druid, Getafix. Absurdity and hilarity ensue when the Gauls encounter the Romans, who are positively terrified the Gauls will attack them at any time. The main character is Asterix, a shrewd, short little warrior from the village. Usually accompanied by his best friend Obelix, a loyal but dim-witted (just don't call him fat!) warrior who fell into the magic potion when he was a baby, thus having a permanent effect on him, Asterix and Obelix go on different adventures around Gaul and the Roman empire for a variety of reasons. The series has been translated into several languages and translates well into all of them. The strip is, first and foremost, a comic, with the expected slapstick humor that would appeal to younger readers. But the true genius of the comic is that there is a lot of historical humor in it as well. For anyone that has even a basic knowledge of Roman events, society and language, they will find the strip is so much deeper. From puns based on latin and every Roman having a name ending is -us, to references to historical events and cultures, the stories never disappoint. There is not really a clunker in the bunch, all of them usually having at least two or three laugh-out-loud, show your teeth jokes. It is truly clever and recommended for ages 7 on up to adult.
