Asterix Omnibus 3: Includes Asterix and the Big Fight #7, Asterix in Britain #8, and Asterix and the Normans #9

Product Description Three great Asterix titles in one!   In Asterix and the Big Fight, the Romans persuade a Gaulish chief to challenge Vitalstatistix to single combat--and everyone's caught up in a battle to save their home. Asterix in Britain finds our hero and his friend Obelix rushing to the aid of a British village trying hold out against Roman invaders. But will bad English food, drink, and weather do the Gauls in first?  The Gauls face a Norman invasion in Asterix and the Normans. Can Asterix and his friends teach their enemies the meaning of fear? Review 'The Asterix books represent the very summit of our achievement as a literary race. In Asterix one finds all of human life. The fact that the books were written originally in French is no matter. I have read them all in many languages and, like all great literature, they are best in English. Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge, Asterix's translators since the very beginning, have made great books into eternal flames'― Giles Coren, THE TIMES A cartoon drawn with such supreme artistry, and a text layered with such glorious wordplay, satire and historical and political allusion that no reader should ever feel like they've outgrown it.― TIME OUT About the Author Rene Goscinny was born in Paris in 1926, and spent most of his childhood in Argentina, before eventually moving to Paris in 1951.
