Written by Jean-Yves Ferri (36-39) and Fabcaro (40), with artwork by Didier Conrad throughout, these full-colour paperback adventures continue the legacy of Goscinny and Uderzo with the same wit and wordplay that has entertained generations.

In \u003cem\u003eThe Missing Scroll\u003c\/em\u003e, the village must stop a Roman publisher erasing Caesar's Gaulish defeats from history. \u003cem\u003eThe Chariot Race\u003c\/em\u003e sends Asterix and Obelix across Italy in a race rigged by a scheming senator. In \u003cem\u003eThe Chieftain's Daughter\u003c\/em\u003e, the pair guard Vercingetorix's fiercely independent daughter, who has other ideas about being protected. \u003cem\u003eThe Griffin\u003c\/em\u003e takes the heroes into the frozen north to rescue captives and track a legendary creature alongside fearless Amazon warriors. Finally, \u003cem\u003eThe White Iris\u003c\/em\u003e sees a suspicious new philosophy sweep through the Roman ranks, threatening the village's spirit, sending our heroes on a mission to break its spell. Each book stands alone, packed with sword fights, feasts, puns and the trademark slapstick humour the series is loved for, while the magic potion and bumbling Romans remain a constant thread of comedy. Beautifully illustrated in the traditional bande dessinée style, these books work equally well read aloud or read independently by confident young readers moving into graphic novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive complete, stand-alone Asterix adventures in one set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-colour illustrated paperback graphic novels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for reluctant readers and graphic novel fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for reading aloud or independent reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA fantastic gift for Asterix fans of all ages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinues the beloved series with the same humour and heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJean-Yves Ferri is a French writer and cartoonist, hand-picked by Albert Uderzo to continue the Asterix series, writing Books 35 to 39 alongside illustrator Didier Conrad.
