In Asterix one finds all of human life. The fact that the books were written originally in French is no matter. I have read them all in many languages and, like all great literature, they are best in English. Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge, Asterix's translators since the very beginning, have made great books into eternal flames. -- Giles Coren * The Times *","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48736992559447,"sku":"9780751583984","price":10.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780751583984.jpg?v=1723810886","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/asterix-asterix-and-the-griffin-9780751583984","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
