Asterix and the Laurel Wreath: Album #18

I enjoy reading it.

Funny and cleverThe Asterix books are all funny, and clever in their use of language. They are for a wide range of ages. My daughter has been enjoying reading them since she was eight years old, and I still love them.

I read these as a kid 30 years ago and loved them, now I've been getting them for my nephew for Christmas and he loves to read them. The art is amazing and the story and humor great for all ages

i loved it

Classic! I Love these books, we are working on collecting the whole catalogue! My four year old thinks they are hilarious!

glad you had this in stock as always another great adventure of Asterix & Obelix you will like this to.

After the chief promises his brother in-law to make a stew seasoned with Julius Caesars Laurel Wreath he sends Asterix and Obelix to Rome to find it and bring it back. And from here the typical Asterix adventures ensue. The Gaulish pair sell themselves as slaves to a wealthy Roman, get thrown to the lions in the circus, briefly become bandits and work out a hangover cure. Plus they do the obligatory Roman bashing and have the celebratory feast at the end. This is pretty standard fare as far as Asterix books go and you get the usual play on words and humorous names (Typhus and Metatarsus for example). The drawing is a lot looser than in some other Asterix books I have read, but there are still plenty of small touches that make these enjoyable to read again and again. The Asterix series is pretty formulaic, but they are also familiar and good fun and this book is no exception. It isn't the best Asterix book you will ever read, but it is a worthy addition to the overall series and is worth buying at some point.Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

Another great story! For those Asterix amateurs, this is one more piece for the collection.

Bought as a gift
