We have been reading Asterix books for years. The stories are entertaining and imaginative, and the humor is great, both for adults and children. My 9 year old loves them. 'Asterix the Gaul' is the first in the series with many more written over the years. Great entertaining read. They are set about 50BC in Gaul (France) during the reign of Julius Caesar. Rome has conquered all of Gaul, except for one little village where the main characters live. They have a druid who brews a magic potion that gives them super human strength. The stories evolve around the conflicts between these Gauls and the Romans. They are comic cartoonish style books with great comic illustrations (in my opinion) unlike so many modern style cartoons these days.
I am trying to build up my collection and this is an easy and less expensive way to do it. Thanks.

This was a Christmas gift for my grandson and he loved it. He immediately sat dow and started reading it. He is an avid reader and reads everything he can get his hands on. He asked for this and another book for Christmas.
