The latest action-packed adventure from our indomitable Gauls, Asterix and the Griffin, is out now!

When Asterix and Obelix rescue a mysterious Pict named MacAroon, they must journey to Caledonia, now Scotland, to return him to his lady love, Camomilla, the adopted daughter of the old king. However, the treacherous chieftain, MacCabeus, plans to marry her and claim the throne - with the help of the Romans!

What with caber-tossing, bagpipes, malted water and an enormous otter in the loch, can the Gauls reunite MacAroon and Camomilla and enjoy some Roman-bashing along the way?

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Asterix and the Picts lovingly satirises Scottish culture, with elements like Nessie, whisky, and kilts delightfully lampooned. The new writer-illustrator team successfully carries forward the iconic series, maintaining its charm and wit. Long-time fans and newcomers will find joy in the familiar adventures of Asterix, with the English translation capturing the spirit skilfully.
