		The Asterix series of books, created by Goscinny (text) and Uderzo (drawings) and translated by Anthea Bell and Derek Hockbridge, are a light-hearted account of the Roman occupation of Gaul, and particularly one small village of indomitable Gauls.
		Asterix in Britain has a distinct advantage for me in that it includes Britain, and mercilessly makes fun of our silly habits (such as drinking beer warm - ugh) at every opportunity.

		Asterix the Gaul must be Europe's favourite comic book hero.
		Asterix the Gaul is the inspired creation of Rene Goscinny, renowned author of several several short stories and comics (Lucky Luke, Isnogood, to name but two of his most successful), and Albert Uderzo, a highly talented comic book artist.
		To my knowledge Asterix' adventures have been translated into 29 different languages, - even Latin (it is used in many schools where Latin is taught in order to loosen up an otherwise rather dry matter.).

		The character of the little man Asterix, his lovable oaf of a companion Obelix and the comic exploits of a single village in Gaul standing out against the entire Roman army proved a massive hit with audiences the world over.
		It is also slightly peculiar to see that when Asterix and Obelix reach Britain the signs are not, as one might expect in English, but in French.

		Well, almost all of Gaul - one village holds out against Rome because its inhabitants are supplied with magic potion by their druid; the magic potion gives them superhuman strength, and they use that strength to beat the stuffing out of the Romans on a regular basis.
		This one is based on the book Asterix in Britain, and it follows the book quite closely.
