Join Asterix and Obelix in this collection of short stories, Asterix and Obelix’s Birthday: The Golden Book. Summary of the Book Fifty years after the original series, the citizens of the little Gaulish village have aged. Well, all of them except Geriatrix who has been aged since forever! Back in 50 BC, it’s time for Asterix and Obelix’s birthday. They receive letters from all of their friends and reminisce about their adventures. To Obelix’s delight, a great party has been arranged, and everyone’s invited. And we mean everyone. Get ready to journey back in time as you meet all the characters you love in this book. But wait, what’re good old Julius Caesar and Cleopatra doing here? About the Authors Albert Uderzo is a French artist and writer. Rene Goscinny is a French comics editor and writer.

Series Reading Order Although the Asterix series may be read in any order, this volume presents stories and references from across all the old books. If you haven’t yet started reading Asterix, do catch a copy of Asterix the Gaul and grab some tissues, because you’re about to snort your way to laughter.
