Books by Rene Goscinny

Portrait of Rene Goscinny

René Goscinny was a master of comic storytelling, renowned for co-creating the beloved *Asterix* series alongside illustrator Albert Uderzo. His sharp wit, deft characterisation and playful use of language brought to life the indomitable Gauls who resist Roman rule with humour and heart. Goscinny's writing combined clever wordplay with universal themes of friendship and resilience, making his stories timeless favourites across generations.

Beyond *Asterix*, Goscinny co-created *Lucky Luke* and penned the charming *Le Petit Nicolas* tales, further cementing his place as one of Europe's most influential comic writers. His legacy endures through editions that continue to delight readers of all ages, reminding us that laughter and imagination are the most powerful tools in any storyteller's armoury.
