Asterix and the Chieftain's Shield
by René Goscinny, Albert Uderzo
Having taken their ill chief to a health spa, Asterix and Obelix decide to explore the local area and find out that the shield of the great Gaulish leader Vercingetorix was never recovered following the invasion of Gaul. It's then a race against the clock for them to track it down before the Romans do. A little convoluted and coincidental in places, this was still a lot of fun.
These books are full of bright, fun and delightful characters who go on various adventures and get to beat up a bunch of Roman soldiers. Accompanying the story and the characters is a plethora of clever puns and word play that the translators should get a medal for. There are always a few gags or phrases in Latin that may mean nothing to the non-Latin speakers (such as myself) but Google can lend a helping hand there.
