Great Short Stories - By: M. A. Ramos, 07 Oct 2007
First I need to start off by saying that I am a big fan of the Asterix series. And I found these stories very entertaining. Though first published in English in 2003. This set of stories was originallly published in French in 1996. And was a huge success.

The book contains fourteen tales, including: The day Asterix & Oblix were born; How Oblix goes back to school; Fashion in Ancient Gaul; How Dogmatix helps the village cockerel win a duel; How Dogmatix is adopted as a Roman mascot; Asterix as you have never seen him before; Obelix's adventures under the mistletoe; The bid for the first Gaulish Olympics; The story of the creation of Asterix; The family tree of Obelix; & much more. Pick up this fun & book.

Asterix and the Class Act - By: , 13 Nov 2003
This is an absolute gem of a book for alll those die-hard Asterix fans! A collection of fourteen 'new' short stories which were published as comic strips in varoius magazines & newspapers over the years. The operative word here is 'short' which was a bit of a dissapointment to me as I like to read lengthier stories. The short write-ups at the beginning of each story gives the reader the history behind each story. The book includes 'Chanticleerix' written by Albert Uderzo this year (2003) is a wonderful new short story about the cockerel 'Chanticleerix', with a big attitute, the kind you could only see in Gaul! 56 wonderful pages of the well loved characters, we could only hope for more of these!
