Great Short Stories - 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.

Pick up this fun and book.
asterix and obelix -the beginning - short stories giving history on how these boys met and became the heroes they are. quite interesting to have and read up on them.
Asterix and the Class Act - This is an absolute gem of a book for all those die-hard Asterix fans! A collection of fourteen new short stories which were published as comic strips in varoius magazines and 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!
