A woman bard? That’s unheard of in Ancient Gaul. So when the mothers in Asterix’s town want to replace Cacofonix with Bravura, the men are horrified. But Bravura hits the right notes musically, and she proves very valuable when Julius Caesar sends in his secret weapon: a group of female legionaries. Caesar thinks the Gauls will be too noble to fight the women...but Bravura has no such scruples! And even Cacofonix succeeds in coming into his own.

Industry Reviews

A cartoon drawn with such supreme artistry, and a text layered with such glorious wordplay, satire and historical and political allusion that no reader should ever feel like they've outgrown it.--TIME OUT
The Asterix books represent the very summit of our achievement as a literary race. 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.--THE TIMES
