One of Giles Coren's favourite books.
Follow usual suspects Asterix and Obelix in another hilarious rampant adventure of Gaulish high jinks. This time they take on Greeks, Romans, and Spartans alike in Athens on the epic stage of the Olympic Games. Surely they cannot lose? However, with magic potion banned as an artificial stimulant can Asterix still win at the Games? This classic tale from Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo provides a humorous and yet often-informative insight into the practices, architecture and ancient traditions associated with the games. Not just for jokes, although of course there’s always plenty of them.
