Reviews

Stepping into the sizeable shoes of Goscinny and Uderzo for a fourth time, Ferri and Conrad produce another pitch-perfect Asterix romp, this one involving the headstrong daughter of rebel Gaulish leader Vercingetorix and the gulf of misunderstanding between adults and adolescents. Co,bative villagers, hapless Romans, groan-worthy puns- it's all here. * Financial Times *
